Question

When two resistors, having resistance R1 and R2, are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the
combination is 5 . Which of the following statements about the resistances is correct?
(A) Both R1 and R2 are greater than 5 . (B) Both R1 and R2 are equal to 5 . (C) Both R1 and R2 are less than 5 . (D) One of the resistances is greater than 5 , one of the resistances is less than 5 .

Answer 1

Answer:

5)

Explanation:

in series connection equivalent resistance is greater than any of the resistance used to form series circuit. while in parallel circuit it is opposite i.e. the equivalent resistance is lesser than any of the resistance used to form that parallel circuit.
