Calculate the equivalent resistance when two resistances are connected in parallel of values 8 Ω, 8 Ω.

Calculate the equivalent resistance when two resistances are connected in parallel of values 8 Ω, 8 Ω. Correct Answer 4 Ω

When two resistances are connected in parallel their equivalent resistance is equal to the harmonic mean of the individual resistances. Req=R1.R2÷(R1+R2)=8×8÷(8+8)=4 Ω.
