If [tex]R_1 = 7 \, \Omega[/tex] and [tex]R_2 = 5 \, \Omega[/tex], what is the total resistance of the circuit?

Question

AL2006 · Answer

If R1 and R2 are in series, then the total resistance is 12 ohms. 
 If R1 and R2 are in parallel, then the total resistance is 2 and 11/12 ohms.

AL2006 · Answer

The total resistance of two resistors depends on their connection type. In series, the total resistance is 12 Ω, while in parallel, it is approximately 2.92 Ω. Therefore, identifying the configuration is essential to calculate total resistance accurately.
