Homework Statement
I have available resistors of 5 different values (10kΩ, 22kΩ, 47kΩ, 100kΩ and 220kΩ).
How can I choose a combination of these resistors that will create a total resistance of 35kΩ in a U shape (using 5 resistors)?
See attached picture of 'U' to get a clear picture of the shape.
Homework Equations
Series Resistors
[R][/eq] = [R][/1]+[R][/2]+[R][/3]+...
Parallel Resistors
1/[R][/eq]=1/[R][/1] + 1/[R][/2] + 1/[R][/3] +...
The Attempt at a Solution
I really don't know here. They would all be in a series for the 'U' shape, so even if I use 5 of the 10kΩ resistors, I will end up with a total resistance of 50kΩ
