A. 0.67 Ω\text{A. } 0.67 \, \Omega

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Write the formula for equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel.

    For nn resistors connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance ReqR_{eq} is given by:

    1Req=1R1+1R2+⋯+1Rn\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \dots + \frac{1}{R_n}
  2. Substitute the given values into the formula.

    We have three resistors, each with a resistance of 2 Ω2 \, \Omega. So, R1=R2=R3=2 ΩR_1 = R_2 = R_3 = 2 \, \Omega.

    1Req=12 Ω+12 Ω+12 Ω\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{2 \, \Omega} + \frac{1}{2 \, \Omega} + \frac{1}{2 \, \Omega}
  3. Calculate the sum of the reciprocals.

    1Req=1+1+12 Ω=32 Ω\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1+1+1}{2 \, \Omega} = \frac{3}{2 \, \Omega}
  4. Calculate ReqR_{eq}.

    Req=2 Ω3R_{eq} = \frac{2 \, \Omega}{3} Req≈0.6666... ΩR_{eq} \approx 0.6666... \, \Omega

    Rounding to two decimal places, Req≈0.67 ΩR_{eq} \approx 0.67 \, \Omega.

  5. Compare with the given options.

    The calculated value matches option A.

    The final answer is A. 0.67 Ω\text{A. } 0.67 \, \Omega.
