Question: Two electrical resistors in parallel (see Fig. 3.46) have a combined resistance RT given by If R 2 = R 1 + 2.0, express R

Two electrical resistors in parallel (see Fig. 3.46) have a combined resistance RT given by 

RT R R R + R


If R2 = R1 + 2.0,  express RT as a function of R1 and find R1 if RT =  6.0 .


Fig. 3.46

RT R R R + R
