Call in the Kirchoff Laws

 

[JohnD]

easy!

I don't know about kirchoffs laws, but I would say 15ohms ie 3x5 ohmns in series(path of least resistance)

 

[DESL]

JJ wrong!!! as you have parallel paths I think the answer is 5ohms but I'm trying to prove it!!

4.167 Ohms

(Yes... I did have to sit down and draw it out!)

...would probably be a bit harder if they were different values for each side, be less easy to simplify

 

[bernardgreen]

Yes, that was the result I got. Along with headache.....


And then I found this

Yes you are correct I did not think about it long enough, but at least I did not get a headache.

 

[THRIPSTER]

On the contrary - your headache is that you have publicly made known that you haven't the slightest clue about parallel/series resistor networks. Nothing wrong with that - at least you have been (unintentionally) honest about it.

It would take me a long time to make a list of all the things I know nothing about

 

[THRIPSTER]

It would take me a very short time to list the things I know about........

how do you know that?
