Question

Three resistors are connected in an equilateral triangle, as shown below. A battery is connected to this set of resistors so that its positive terminal is connected by a wire to one of the lettered points, and the negative terminal is connected to another of the lettered points. Consider the following three cases.

(a) Rank these cases based on the equivalent resistance (that is, by the total resistance of the circuit), from largest to smallest. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.)

Explanation / Answer

1. 1/Req= (1/(60+24)+1/36) Req=25.2 2. 1/Req= (1/60+36)+1/24 Req= 19.2 3. 1/Req=(1/(36+24))+1/60 req= 30 3>1>2
