The equivalent resistance of combination is \dfrac{1}{10}\ \Omega.

Explanation:

Length of wire is 10 m and resistance 10 ohms is cut into 10 equal parts. These parts are now connected in parallel, then the resistance of each part becomes r ohms, r=R/10

We need to find the equivalent resistance of combination.

For parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :

\dfrac{1}{r_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{r_1}+\dfrac{1}{r_2}+.....\dfrac{1}{r_{10}}\\\\\dfrac{1}{r_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{r}+\dfrac{1}{r}+.....\text{10 times }\\\\\dfrac{1}{r_{eq}}=\dfrac{10}{r}\\\\\dfrac{1}{r_{eq}}=\dfrac{10}{(R/10)}\\\\{r_{eq}=\dfrac{R}{100}

We have R = 10 ohms

So,

{r_{eq}=\dfrac{10}{100}\\r_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{10}\ \Omega

So, the equivalent resistance of combination is \dfrac{1}{10}\ \Omega.
