Solution Summary
The solution gives step-by-step instructions for finding equivalent resistance of a complex series/parallel circuit of pure resistance. Circuit notation is given solely in text format. No drawings are provided.
Solution Preview
This is a problem in parallel and series resistors.
You need two equations:
1. Resistors in series (s): Requiv = R1 + R2
2. Resistors in parallel (||): 1/Requiv = 1/R1 + 1/R2 = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2)
The original circuit in text form (omitting units):
5k s {30k || [22.25k s ...
