Three resistors (16 ohm, 16 ohm and 8 ohm) are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance (Re)

4 ohm

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance (Re) of three resistors in parallel is given by;

1/Re = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

Where; R1 = 16 ohm, R2 = 16 ohm, R3 = 8 ohm

1/Re= 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/8

1/Re= (0.0625) + (0.0625) + (0.125)

Re= 4 ohm

when a device is used in a circuit in which the voltage is 81 v, the current flowing through the device is 3 a. what is the resistance of the device?
