a student obtains resistance 3,4,12and16 ohms using only two metallic resistance wires either separately or joined .What is the value of each of these wires?

Expert Answer:
The metallic wires have resistances 12 and 4 ohm.
Therefore, when they are connected in series, total resistance = 12 + 4 = 16 ohm.
When they are connected in parallel, total resistance = [(1/12) + (1/4)]1/2 = 3 ohm
And separately they can be used as wires of 4 and 12 ohm.
