Question

Given 5 equal resistances , each of the value 5ohm . (A) what is the maximum resistance that can be obtained from them?
(B) what is the minimum resistance that can be obtained from them?

Answer 1

Answer:In series 5+5+5+5+5=25

Explanation:In parallel 1÷5+1÷5+1÷5+1÷5+1÷5

Answer 2

Answer:

Max R = R + R + R + R + R = 5+5+5+5+5 = 25 ohms. Series connection

Minimum 1/R = 1/R + 1/R ……. =1/5 +1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 5/5 = 1/R = 5/5 = 1

1/R = 1/1

R = 1 ohm is the minimum

all in parallel, like house circuits. That is why the more things you add to your receptacles in your

house the less the resistance. The smaller the resistance the greater the current that flows through the

circuit
