Question

In Ohms law experiment the given resistance R is cut into two equal parts and parallel combination of this two parts are connected in between points X and Y in given circuit diagram. The net resistance between the points X and Y is

3 points



Your answer

​

Answer 1

Answer:

each new resistor will have a resistance of R/2

therefore when they are connected in parallel the new net resistance R¹ will be

1/R¹= 2/R+2/R

R¹ = R/4 is the final resistance between X and Y

Answer 2

Explanation:

It becomes

1/R = 2/R + 2/R

= 4/R

R = R/4
