question 55

Multiple Choice

To find the equivalent resistance of the combination of resistors shown below by the method of possibly repeated applications of combining resistors in series and /or combining resistors in parallel,the first step would be which of the following?

• A)Combine the 6.0 W and the 7.0 W in series.
• B)Combine either the 4.0 W and the 10.0 W in parallel or the 7.0 W and the 10.0 W in parallel first,since either could be the first step with the other the second step.
• C)Combine the 4.0 W and the 10.0 W in series.
• D)Combine the 6.0 W,the 4.0 W,and the 10.0 W in series in a single step.
