The total resistance needed in a given circuit is 50 ohm a student has three resistors of 3 ohm 6 ohms and 48 ohms available with the how should we connect these resistors.

Use one 3 ohm resistor and one 6 ohm resistor in paralel

Explanation:

The equation to solve two resistor in paralel:

For the case of only two resistor:

Doing this for the 3 and the 6 ohm resistor plus the 48 ohm:

answer; equivalent to a one(1) horsepower motor;
