Question

The question uses the two formulas for finding the series and the parallel resistance using matlab

Write a function that computes the equivalent resistance of a simple resistive circuit consisting of only series-connected or parallel-connected resistors. You function should accept two inputs as follows:

A vector of any length greater than or equal to 2 that contains the resistance values of two or more resistors.

A single character variable that is equal to "S" to indicate a series connection or "P" to indicate a parallel connection.

The function should output a single scalar that is the equivalent resistance of the circuit that is computed using the appropriate formula as described above.

Explanation / Answer

function [EquResistance] = student_solution(Resistance,TYPE)

SUM = 0;

if(TYPE == 'S' || TYPE == 's')

for i= 1 : length(Resistance)

SUM = SUM + Resistance(i);

end

EquResistance= SUM;

elseif (TYPE == 'P' || TYPE == 'p')

for i= 1 : length(Resistance)

SUM = SUM + 1/Resistance(i);

end

EquResistance = 1/SUM;

end

end
