The total resistance in this circuit is 6 Ohms.

Explicación

## Step 1In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. This is because the current has to pass through each resistor in the series, and the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.### **Total Resistance = Sum of individual resistances**## Step 2In this problem, we have three resistors, each with a resistance of 2 Ohms. So, we add these resistances together to find the total resistance.### **Total Resistance = 2 Ohms + 2 Ohms + 2 Ohms**## Step 3Perform the addition to find the total resistance.
