Question

question 1: step 1 part a, circuit b identifyresistors in parallel, how come 30 and 20 are notconsidered to be in parallel? question 2: how come in step 2 and step 4, the method used tofind equivalent resistors in parallel are different? question 3: part "a" says in circuit "c" thatresistors 75k and 50k are in parallel, how come instep 6, it includes the 150k resistor in calculating anequivalent resistance? question 1: step 1 part a, circuit b identifyresistors in parallel, how come 30 and 20 are notconsidered to be in parallel? question 2: how come in step 2 and step 4, the method used tofind equivalent resistors in parallel are different? question 3: part "a" says in circuit "c" thatresistors 75k and 50k are in parallel, how come instep 6, it includes the 150k resistor in calculating anequivalent resistance?

Explanation / Answer

answer 1 :

For circuit 'b' the 20 and 30 are not in parallelsince we have a resistor 40 in between them.
answer 2 :

Both the methods are same, the first line in step 4 is not included in step 2 , that's it.
answer 3 :

The resistors 75k , 50k and 150k are in parallel.it's a typo error. hope this helps you...............!
