Question

If we require the maximum resistance from a number of given resistors, we connect *
1 point
all in series
all in parallel
less resistors in series and more in parallel
more resistors in series and less in parallel

Answer 1

Answer:

• All in series is the correct answer

Explanation:

To get maximum resistance from a number of given resistors , we connect all resistors in series . Because we know that in series we calculate the equivalent resistance by the sum of resistance of each resistors.while in parallel combination we calculate equivalent resistance by the sum of reciprocal of its individual Resistors .

Formula for calculating the Equivalent Resistance in series.

• Req = R1 + R2 + Rn

where,

Req is the equivalent or total resistance

R1 , R2 & Rn are the Resistance of Resistors.

Answer 2

Required Answer :-

All in series

Because if we connect all resistor in parallel then it will be less than series

Let's see how

Take 2 resistor of 1 and 2 ohm

In parallel

1/Rn = 1/1 + 1/2

1/Rn = 2 + 1/3

1/Rn = 3/3

1/Rn = 1 Ω

In series

Rn = R1 + R2

Rn = 2 + 1

Rn = 3 Ω

Therefore, Option A is correct
