Question

if a person has six resistars each of value 1/6 ohm,s the maximum resistance he can obtain by them is a. 6ohm,s b. 5ohm,s c. 1ohm,s d. 26ohm,s​

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum resistance is obtained while connecting the resistors in series.

here also to find the maximum resistance we need to find the total resistance obtained while connecting them in series.

when resistors are connected in series R = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5 + R6

                                                                    R = 1/6 + 1/6 +1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6

                                                                    R = 1/6×6

                                                                     R = 1Ω

The maximum resistance which can be made from these resistors is 1Ω
