Mariah will build a circuit that requires equivalent resistance of 250Ω but she only have two 500Ω resistors, which of the following should you do to these available resistors? Connect the two 500Ω resistors in series.
Connect the two 500Ω resistors in parallel.
Connect the two 500Ω resistors in a simple circuit.
Connect the two 500Ω resistors in series-parallel.

I1 Ω = 24 amps

I2 Ω = 12 amps

I3 Ω = 8 amps

P1 Ω = 576 watts

P2 Ω = 288 watts

P3 Ω = 192 watts

The answers to this question may seem paradoxical to students: the lowest value of resistor dissipates the greatest power. Math does not lie, though.

Explanation:

Another purpose of this question is to instill in students’ minds the concept of components in a simple parallel circuit all sharing the same amount of voltage

Connect the two 500Ω resistors in parallel.

Explanation:

hello,

your answer is ready

i believe its either the first or third option but i'm leaning more towards the third option:

the first excerpt makes a logical appeal, while the second excerpt makes an emotional appeal.
