D)208 Ω

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance can be calculated using the formula: 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3. For the given resistors, 1/R_total = 1/470 + 1/680 + 1/830, which results in a total resistance of approximately 208 Ω.

If a 470 Ω Resistor, 680 Ω Resistor and 830
