A 4.00- resistor, an 8.00- resistor, and a 24.0- resistor are connected together.
 
  (a) What is the maximum resistance that can be produced using all three resistors?
  (b) What is the minimum resistance that can be produced using all three resistors?
  (c) How would you connect these three resistors to obtain a resistance of 10.0 ?
  (d) How would you connect these three resistors to obtain a resistance of 8.00 ?
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2
