Question:

In this circuit the resistance R1 is 3Ω, R2 is 7Ω, and R3 is 7Ω. If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance, what should that resistance be?

9.1Ω

Explanation:

The circuit diagram has been attached to this response.

(i) From the diagram, resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel to each other. The reciprocal of their equivalent resistance, say Rₓ, is the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances of each of them. i.e

$\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}$

=> $R_{X} = \frac{R_1 * R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$ ------------(i)

From the question;

R1 = 3Ω,

R2 = 7Ω

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

$R_{X} = \frac{3 * 7}{3 + 7}$

$R_{X} = \frac{21}{10}$

$R_{X} = 2.1$ Ω

(ii) Now, since we have found the equivalent resistance (Rₓ) of R1 and R2, this resistance (Rₓ) is in series with the third resistor. i.e Rₓ and R3 are connected in series. This is shown in the second image attached to this response.

Because these resistors are connected in series, they can be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance R. Where R is the sum of the resistances of the two resistors: Rₓ and R3. i.e

R = Rₓ + R3

Rₓ = 2.1Ω

R3 = 7Ω

=> R = 2.1Ω + 7Ω = 9.1Ω

Therefore, the combination of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 can be replaced with a single resistor with an equivalent resistance of 9.1Ω

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
