Resistors in a Lab#
Suppose Mateo is doing a physics lab that asks them to put a resistor into a circuit, but all the resistors supplied have a smaller resistance than the requested value.
Part 1#
How would Mateo connect the available resistances to attempt to get the larger value asked for?
Answer Section#
Connect multiple resistors in parallel
Connect multiple resistors in series
It is not possible to achieve the desired resistance
