Answer :

Answer:

B. 16 ohms

Explanation:

The two resistors in this circuit are in series, so the equation for equivalent resistance is [tex]R_{eq} = R_{1}+R_{2}[/tex] where R1 and R2 are the two resistors in the circuit.

[tex]R_{eq} = R_{1}+R_{2}=8.0+8.0=16.0[/tex] Ω

Justification:

The resistors in this circuit are in series, so the equivalent resistance is found by adding the values of the two resistors.
