What is the net resistance of the circuit connected to the battery in Fig. 19-33? Each resistance has R = 3.0?
Start by adding the two in series between A and B


Req=6K


then that is in parallel with one 3 K


Req=18/9=2K


that is in series now with one 3 k


Req=5K


then that is in parallel with one 3 K


Req=15/8





and that is in series with one 3 k


Req=3+15/8


Req=4.875 kΩ
