Question

a peice of wire having resistance R is cut into five equal parts <1> how will the resistance of each part of the wire compare with the original resistance <2> if the five parts of the wire are placed in parrelle how will the resistance of the combination compare with the resistance of the original wire what will be the ratio of the resistance in the series to that of parallel

Answer 1

Answer:

solved

Explanation:

i) each part will have a resistance = R/5

ii) in parallel , Re = R/5÷5 = R/25

iii)  in series , Re = 5 R/5 = R
