Question #60982 Physics Circuits Complex Resistor Combinations 1 Answer Eddie Feb 13, 2017 #6/11# Ohms Explanation: The total resistance, #R_T#, of a parallel set of #n# resistors is #1/R_T = Sigma 1/R_n implies R_T = 1/(Sigma 1/R_n)# Here we can see this as: #1/R_T = 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 11/6# #implies R_T = 6/11 Omega# Answer link Related questions How can I draw a series circuit?
