Two resistors of resistance R1 and R2 having R1 > R2 are connected in parallel. For equivalent resistance R, the correct statement is :
Equivalent resistance of parallel resistors is always less than any of the member of the resistance system.
A wire of resistance R is divided into 10 equal parts. These parts are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance of such connection will be :
Each part will have a resistance
Let equivalent resistance be rR, then
Three resistors each of 2 ohm are connected together in a triangular shape. The resistance between any two vertices will be
When three resistors of equal resistance R are connected in a triangular shape, the effective resistance between any two vertices is R/3 by applying the parallel resistance formula. Since each resistor is 2Ω, the effective resistance between any two vertices is 2/3 = 4/3Ω.
There are n similar conductors each of resistance R. The resultant resistance comes out to be x when connected in parallel. If they are connected in series, the resistance comes out to be :
In parallel, ∴ R = nx
In series, R + R + R .... n times = nR = n (nx) = n2x
Two resistances are joined in parallel whose resultant is ohm. One of the resistance wire is broken and the effective resistance becomes 2Ω. Then the resistance in ohm of the wire that got broken was
If resistances are and then …..(i)
Suppose is broken then …..(ii)
On solving equations (i) and (ii) we get
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in series is always :
A cell of negligible resistance and e.m.f. 2 volts is connected to a series combination of 2, 3, and 5 . The potential difference in volts between the terminals of 3 resistance will be :
Four wires of equal length and of resistances 10 ohms each are connected in the form of a square. The equivalent resistance between two opposite corners of the square is :
Two resistors are connected (a) in series (b) in parallel. The equivalent resistance in the two cases is 9 ohm and 2 ohms respectively. Then the resistances of the component resistors are :
and ⇒
