We can substitute the given values from the question into the equation and solve:
Example Question #721 :High School Physics
There are three resistors in parallel in a circuit with resistances of
What is the equivalent resistance?
The equation for resistors in parallel is:
We are given the values of the resistors. Using this formula, we can solve for the equivalent resistance.
Plug in the given values and solve.
Example Question #1 :Electric Circuits
A voltage of
This question can be solved using Ohm's law:
We are given the voltage and the current. Using these values, we can solve for the resistance.
Example Question #1 :Electricity
A capacitor with capacitance
Capacitance of a circuit is defined by the equation:
Where
Since the metal plates are cut in half, the area is halved. We can substitute
The result is that the capacitance is half the original quantity.
