Question

if a series circuit has 2 loads, each being 8 ohms, what is the combined resistance of the loads?
select one:
○ a. 4 ohms
○ b. 8 ohms
○ c. 16 ohms
○ d. 64 ohms

Explanation:

Step1: Recall series resistance formula

For resistors in series, the total resistance \( R_{total} = R_1 + R_2 \).

Step2: Substitute values

Here, \( R_1 = 8 \) ohms, \( R_2 = 8 \) ohms. So \( R_{total} = 8 + 8 = 16 \) ohms.

Answer:

c. 16 ohms
