Question

two resistors of resistance R1 and R2 having R1 greater than R2 are connected in parallel for equivalent resistance R the correct statement is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In parallel combination of resistance the equivalent resistance is less than the lowest resistance .

So ,in this case R will be smaller than both R1 and R2 but R2 is even smaller than R1 .

Therefore the answer will be

R<R2<R1

Options:

A. R> R1+R2

B. R1<R<R2

C. R2<R< (R1+R2)

D. R<R1

Concept:

• The parallel arrangement of resistors
• Equivalent resistance

Given:

• R1>R2
• Resistors are connected in parallel

Find:

• The relation between equivalent resistance R, R1 and R2

Solution:

For the parallel arrangement of resistors,

1/R = 1/R1 +1/R2

1/R = (R1+R2)/R1R2

R = R1R2/(R1+R2)

Equivalent resistance R is less than any of the resistors arranged.

The correct option is R<R1
