Question

You are given fifty 5 ohm resisters. what is a) smallest and b) largest resistance can be obtained by using these ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Smallest Resistance can be obtained by connecting the resistors in Parallel.

As Total Resistance = (1/5)*50 = 10 Ohm....

Largest Resistance can be obtained by connecting the resistors in Series

As Total Resistance = 5*50 = 250 Ohm....

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

the largest resistance is 50 x 5=250 ohm

and lowest resistance will get 0.1 ohm

Explanation:

if we add the resisters in series then we get the highest resistance

and if we add the resisters in parallel then we get lowest resistance
