ASSERTION (A) : When a resistor of 1000 kilo-ohm is connected in parallel with a resistor of 1 ohm,the equivalent resistance would be less than 1 ohm
REASON ( R ) : In parallel combination, equivalent resistance is always greater than the component resistors.

Explanation:
Resistivity
Ohms Law states that when a voltage (V) source is applied between two points in a circuit, an electrical current (I) will flow between them encouraged by the presence of the potential difference between these two points. The amount of electrical current which flows is restricted ...
Potentiometers
Resistors provide a fixed value of resistance that blocks or resists the flow of electrical current around a circuit, as well as producing a voltage drop in accordance with Ohm's law. Resistors can be manufactured to have either a fixed resistive value in Ohms or a variable resis...
Resistor Colour Code Wheel
Resistor colour codes can sometimes be a little confusing until you understand how they work. But once you get the hang of them it becomes easier to read the values of those simple colour coded bands. There is a lot of information both online and on this Electronics Tutorials we...
Varistor Tutorial
Unlike the fuse or circuit breaker which offers over-current protection, the varistor provides over-voltage protection by means of voltage-clamping in a similar way to the zener diode. The word "Varistor" is a combination of the words VARI-able resi-STOR used to describe their m...
Resistor Tutorial Summary
The job of a Resistor is to limit the current flowing through an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in Ohm's and is given the symbol Ω Carbon, Film and Wirewound are all types of resistors. Resistor colour codes are used to identify the resistance and tolerance ra...
Resistors in AC Circuits
In the previous tutorials we have looked at resistors, their connections and used Ohm's Law to calculate the voltage, current and power associated with them. In all cases both the voltage and current has been assumed to be of a constant polarity, flow and direction, in other word...
Resistor Power Rating
When an electrical current passes through a resistor due to the presence of a voltage across it, electrical energy is lost by the resistor in the form of heat and the greater this current flow the hotter the resistor will get. This is known as the Resistor Power Rating. Resistor...
Potential Difference
Unlike current which flows around a closed electrical circuit in the form of electrical charge, potential difference does not move or flow it is applied. The unit of potential difference generated between two points is called the Volt and is generally defined as being the potent...
