sistance will be -
1
(a) 22 (6) 62 (c) (d) 892​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rp = 4/3 ohm

Explanation:

Given that, The resistance of 2ohm and 4ohm are arranged in parallel connection.

We need to find, The equivalent resistance of the conductor.

Formula for resistor in parallel connection:

• 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2

where,

• Rp = Total resistance

• R1 = First Resistance

• R2 = Second Resistance

Solution:

➽ 1/Rp = 1/2 + 1/4

On taking LCM,

➽ 1/Rp = (2+1)/4

➽ 1/Rp = 3/4

➽ Rp = 4/3 ohm

Hence, the equivalent resistance of the conductor is 4/3 ohm.
