Question

The equivalent resistance of two equal resistance connected in parallel is _ the value of each resistance

Answer 1

Explanation:

sum of reciprocals of the value of each resistance

Answer 2

Answer:

_______ = half

Explanation:

Let the two equal resistors be 2ohm and 2 ohm.

Now, since they are connected in parallel,

1/R(eq) = 1/R1 + 1/R2

=> 1/R(eq) = 1/2 + 1/2

=> 1/R(eq) = 2/2 = 1/1

=> R(eq) = 1

Clearly can see that,

R(eq) = 1/2 R1 = 1/2 R2

Hence, the required answer = half
