(i) The three resistors are joined in series as shown in the diagram below:

You have three resistors of values 2 Ω, 3 Ω and 5 Ω. How will you join them so that the total resistance is more than 7 Ω? Draw a diagram for the arrangement. Calculate the equivalent resistance. ICSE 2018 Physics Solved Question Paper.

(ii) The equivalent resistance R = R1 + R2 + R3

R = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 Ω
