Question

If you connect three resistors having values 2 W, 3 W and 5 W in parallel, then, will the value of the total resistance be less than 2 W, or greater than 5 W, or lie between 2 W and 5 W? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:1.03 approximately

Explanation:Sp=1/R1+ 1/R2+ 1/R3

Sp=1/2+1/3+1/5

Sp=15+10+6/30

Sp=31/30=1.033
