Two resistors with values of 6.0 W and 12 W are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a 4.0 W resistor. What is the equivalent resistance of this combination?
a.
0.50 W
c.
8.0 W
b.
2.0 W
d.
22 W
Factor in the resistors and take into account the 4.0 W connection. Then do it like you normally would with the 4.0 W included. This will give you 8.0, simple :)
