Problem-solving activities (Samples)
1. The resistances of three resistors is R1 = 2 Ω, R2 = 3Ω, and R3 = 5 Ω. What would a multimeter read if you connected them in series and measured their combined resistance?
2. Suppose that you have a box of resistors, each with resistance 3 Ω. Design the following circuits:

2B.
Design a circuit made of only 3 Ω resistors that has a total resistance
of 9 Ω: |
3. Suppose that you had
a box with several of 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 5 Ω resistors. Design the following
circuits (some circuits may have more than one design):
