Question

You are given four resistors, each of 7.5, 10, 15, and 20 kiloohms [kUpper Omega].
(a) What is the largest equivalent resistance that can be made using these four resistors?

..................... kUpper Omega (Round your answer to two significant digits.)

Answer 1

Connect them in series to maximize the resistance, and get

 

R_eq = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄

 

Plug in the values of R₁ through R₄.
