Given:
Two resistors each of resistance R = 60 ohms are connected in parallel.
To find the equivalent resistance of the parallel portion.
Explanation:
The equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit can be calculated by the formula
[tex]\frac{1}{R_p}=\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}[/tex]
On substituting the values, the equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{R_P}=\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{60} \\ =\frac{2}{60} \\ R_p=\frac{60}{2} \\ =30\text{ }\Omega \end{gathered}[/tex]
Thus, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is 30 ohms.
