Two Paths, Less Resistance

Physics / Difficulty Tier 2, Relation. Requires a few ideas, quantities or steps to be connected.
About Tier 2 - Relation

Requires a few ideas, quantities or steps to be connected.

Difficulty describes the challenge, not the solver. It is a Society guide rather than a formal academic level.

The tier is a Society guide to the amount of reasoning, technical work and insight a problem is expected to require. Your experience may vary depending on the topic and your background.

Two Paths, Less Resistance

Electricity & Magnetism / Electric Circuits - 4 min

Two resistors, each with a resistance of 6 Ω6\,\Omega, are connected in parallel. What is their equivalent resistance?

R1=R2=6 ΩR_1=R_2=6\,\Omega
Assumptions

Treat the resistors as ideal and ohmic at a fixed temperature. Connecting wires have negligible resistance.

Enter your answer in ohms as a number, without a unit.

Exact value required.
