Question

What is the maximum resistance which can be made using 5 resistors each of 1/5 ohms?
Plzzzzz.who will answer detailedly and correctly will be marked as the brainiest
.....

Answer 1

Answer:

we have five resistors of resistence 1/5ohm

so,according to the formula-

1/R=1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5

1/R=5/5

1/R=1/1,R=1ohm

hope this will help you

Explanation:

Answer 2

The maximum resistance which can be made using 5 resistors each of 1/5 ohms is 1 ohm.

• In any circuit, a set of resistors can be arranged in two ways: series and parallel.
• In the series type of arrangement, a set of resistors are arranged continuously, in end to end manner and the net resistance of the setup just gets added up, that is, the net resistance is equal to the sum total of all the individual resistances.
• In the parallel type of arrangement, a set of resistors are arranged such that, all of the resistors are connected to a common point on either side. In this case, the net resistance of the setup is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of all individual resistances.
• Thus, we can get a maximum resistance from a set of resistors if all the individual resistances gets added up, that is, all the resistors are arranged in series type.
• As per the question, the resistance of each of the 5 resistors = 1/5 ohm. So the net maximum resistance when all the 5 resistors are arranged in series type = 1/5 ohm x 5 = 1 ohm
• That's why 1 ohm is the correct answer to this question.
