Two resistors of 6 Ω and 3 Ω are connected in PARALLEL. The equivalent resistance is:

1. 1/R_eq = 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/6 + 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2. 2. R_eq = 2 Ω. 3. Note: parallel equivalent is ALWAYS smaller than the smallest individual resistor. _Source: NCERT Class 10 Science Ch 11 §11.5.2 Parallel Combination_
