Write any three characteristics of resistors connected in parallel.
Answers
(i) The reciprocal of equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocal of individual resistances. This is also known as the minimum effective resistance.
(ii) The current from the source is greater than the current through either resistor.
(iv) The potential difference across each resistor is same.
Answer:
(i) The reciprocal of equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocal of individual resistances.
(ii)This is also known as the minimum effective resistance.
(iii) The current from the source is greater than the current through either resistor.
(iv) The potential difference across each resistor is same.
Explanation:
In parallel circuits, voltage is constant throughout, current depends on each resistor and the inverse of the total resistance is the sum of the inverse of each individual resistor.
