Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: 12.5
Explanation: ā Correct Answer: A) 12.5 Ohms š Explanation: To get the 'maximum' total resistance, the three resistors must be connected in a 'series'. In a series circuit, you simply add all the individual resistances together. Calculation: 5 + 4.5 + 3 = 12.5 Ohms. This is a basic principle of electricity often tested in science exams for competitive students.
