Question

If a person has five resistors each of value = 1/5 ohm, then the maximum
resistance he can obtain by connecting them is
(A) 1ohm
(B) 5 ohm
(C) 10 ohm
(D) 25 ohm​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5

1+1+1+1+1/5

5/5

1 ohm

(A)

Answer 2

Answer:

1 Ohm

Explanation:

Given, Resistance of each resistor, R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = R5 = 1/5

We know that the maximum equivalent resistance is obtained when the resistors are connected in series.

Hence,

Equivalent Resistance (Rs) = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5

= 5 * 1/5 = 1 ohm

Hence the answer is 1 ohm
