Question

can the equivalent resistant of series combination be smaller than any of the individual resistance

Answer 1

Equivalent resistance of a circuit connected in series is the sum of individual resistors. So when you compare, the equivalent resistance is much greater than the individual resistors. But in case of parallel connection of resistors the equivalent resistance is smaller than the individual resisters.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of series combination, the equivalent resistance can't be less than an individual resistance because the equivalent resistance of resistors in series combination is calculated by simply adding them.

Therefore, the answer to your question is no, the equivalent resistance can't be less than the resistance of an individual.
