Detailed Solution

Resistance: The hindrance placed in the way of the current's flow is referred to as resistance. R stands for it.

Resistances in series are two or more resistances connected one after another such that the same current passes through them.

In a series combination, the comparable resistance is going to be Rser=R1+R2+R3

Question Image

Resistances are referred to as being in parallel when their terminals are connected at the same two places and there is an equal potential difference between them.Question Image

The formula for the net resistance/equivalent resistance (R) of parallel resistances is:

1R=1R1+1R2

Question Image

It is given that, three 3Ω resistors are connected to form a triangle. So, from the above figure, it is clear that resistors RAB and RAC are in series. Therefore, their equivalent resistance will be-

Rser=RAB+RBC

Rser =3Ω+3Ω=9Ω

Question Image

Now resistors Rser and RBC are in parallel with each other. Therefore, their equivalent resistance will be

1Rpara =1RBC+1Rser 

1Rpara =13+14=712

Rpara=127Ω.
