Question

If five 10 Ω resistors, are connected in parallel, what will be the effective resistance?

(10 Ω, 5 Ω, 2 Ω, 1/2 Ω)​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

We know that the equivalent resistance of n resistors each of resistance R in series is given by

R

eq

=nR

and that of n resistors in parallel is given by

R

eq

=

n

R

Here, given that for series-

nR=10Ω

⟹5R=10⟹R=2Ω

For parallel combination of these resistors-

R

eq

=

n

R

=

5

2

⟹R

eq

=0.4Ω
