Answer 2

The equivalent resistance becomes 1/9th of the initial resistance.

Explanation:

Let the resistance of the wire is R ohms. It cuts into 3 parts and then connected in parallel. We need to find the equivalent resistance now.

The resistance of each part is : R/3 ohms

When connected in parallel, net resistance is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R/3}+\dfrac{1}{R/3}+\dfrac{1}{R/3}\\\\R_{eq}=\dfrac{R}{9}\ \Omega$

So, the equivalent resistance becomes 1/9th of the initial resistance.
