    Resistance of a circuit

    When three resistors of resistance values R1, R2, and R3 are placed in a parallel pattern within an electrical circuit (see diagram attached), the total resistance, RT, is computed from the formula: 1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3. a. Rewrite the resistance formula by solving for RT and simplifying (i.e. RT = ...) b.
