In a given schematic, the total resistance is noted as?

  1. 10 ohms

  2. 100 ohms

  3. 1000 ohms

  4. 1 ohm

The correct answer is: 100 ohms

The total resistance in a schematic is determined by calculating the sum of all the individual resistances in the circuit. In this case, option B has the highest value compared to options A, C, and D, which means it has the highest total resistance. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they have lower resistance values, and the total resistance in a circuit will always be equal to or greater than the individual resistances. Option D is also incorrect because it has the lowest value, indicating the lowest total resistance in the circuit. Therefore, option B is the correct and most logical choice for the total resistance value in a given schematic.
