What is meant by equivalent resistance?
(N/A) Equivalent resistance is defined as the single resistance value that,when connected in a circuit,would draw the same amount of current from the source as the original combination of multiple resistors connected in series,parallel,or a combination of both. It effectively replaces the entire network of resistors with one equivalent component while maintaining the same electrical characteristics for the rest of the circuit.
