A circuit has a net resistance of 12 ohms when a 3-ohm resistor is connected in series. What is the net resistance when a 2-ohm resistor is connected in series?
Q1. A circuit has a net resistance of 12 ohms when a 3-ohm resistor is connected in series. What is the net resistance when a 2-ohm resistor is connected in series?
Answer: 14 ohms
Explanation: The net resistance is the sum of the individual resistances, making 14 ohms a plausible but incorrect answer.
