Question

2
When a number of resistances are connected in parallel, the total resistance is
(1 Point)
greater than the smallest resistance.
O always greater than 10 ohm.
between the smallest and greatest resistance.
less than the smallest resistence.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

A

True

When two resistors R and r are connected in paralle.

Equivalent resistance =R

o

=

R+r

Rr

=

1+

r

R

R

Since,1+

r

R

>1

⟹R

o

<R

Similarly, R

o

<r

Hence, when resistors are connected in parallel, equivalent resistance is less than each individual resistance.

Given statement is True.
