Question

Identify the type of combination in which R1 and R2 are connected in the given circuit diagram.

Answer 1

Answer:

They are connected in Parallel to each other. Since the Current is being divided at the Junction and the Potential Difference is Same

Answer 2

Resistors are connected in parallel

Explanation:

If you want to identify whether the resistors are connected in series or in parallel, simply check the starting and end points of the resistor network. If there is any junction point in between at least two resistors, then that network is connected in parallel. Contrarily, if there is no junction point between the resistors in the network, then the resistors are in series.

In the given circuit, we find that there is a junction point between the two resistors. So the resistors are connected in parallel.

So P = V²/R

The Voltage (V) remains constant.

Power becomes inversely proportional to resistance.
