Q1
a. The combined resistance RT of four resistors in parallel is given by
1
R =1,L
R1 R2 R3 R4

where R, R2, R3, and R4 are the resistances of the four resistors. A combination of
resistances values is referred for comparison todetermine which set will provide the
maximum and minimum values for shunt applications.
I. RË = 12l, Rz = 5 2, Rg = 25 ), R4 = 15 2
I. R = 10 l, R, =8 , R3 = 22 2, R4 = 18n
III. R, = 14 n, R, 42, Ra =27 N, Ra = 10 2
IV. R, = 16 N, R, =3N, Ra = 22 2, Ra = 12 2

Develop a programme to determine the R for I to IV and determine the

maximum andminimum values for the combined resistances Rr.
