Question #60982 Physics Circuits Complex Resistor Combinations 1 Answer Eddie Feb 13, 2017 6/11 Ohms Explanation: The total resistance, R_T, of a parallel set of n resistors is 1/R_T = Sigma 1/R_n implies R_T = 1/(Sigma 1/R_n) Here we can see this as: 1/R_T = 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 11/6 implies R_T = 6/11 Omega Answer link Related questions How can I draw a series circuit?
