    Question #2: The circuit shown below has three loads in series, with the following resistances:
    R1 = 10 ohms
    R2 = 20 ohms
    R3 = 40 ohms.

    What is the total circuit resistance?

    I added the resistance and it came to 70, do I divide 1\70 or do I do 70/1 to get my answer? Or do I take each of the resistances and divide each one of those by either 1/R or r/1 and than add them up and than divide?
