    Show how you would connect three resistors, each of resistance 6, so that the combination has a resistance of (i) 9 (ii) 2.

    Answer:

    (i)         In order to get a resistance of 9  from three resistors, each of resistance 6 , we connect two resistors in parallel and this parallel combination (or resistance 3) in series with the third resistor as shown in fig. (ii)        In order to get a resistance of 2 from three resistors, each of resistance 6 , we connect all the three resistors in parallel as shown in fig (b) as equivalent resistance in parallel combination, i.e., Rp is given by Rp =  = 2.
