Question

What is the maximum resistance which can be made using five resistors each of 1/5 W?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1 ohm

Hence, the maximum resistance which can be made using five resistors each of 1/5 ohm is 1 ohm.

Answer 2

Answer:

In series connection, the resistance increases and in parallel, the resistance decreases. so we have to use series connection for maximum resistance,

so, R= 1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5 = 5/5 = 1
