Question

What is the maximum resistance obtained by combining five resistors each of 4 ohm?

Answer 1

Answer:

series combination = 20 ohm

Explanation:

According to the given question, we are asked to find the maximum equivalent resistance.

We know that maximum equivalent resistance can be obtained only when all the resistors are in series combination.

As in its formula all resistances are add-up.

• R eq = R1+R2+....+Rn

Where, R eq = equivalent resistance

and R1, R2...Rn all are resistors in series combination.

So, by putting the given values we get,

• R eq = 4+4+4+4+4

• R eq = 20 Ohm ans

So, the maximum resistance that we can have is 20 Ohm by using only series combination.
