Explanation

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 :

Explanation

Each part will have a resistance r=R/10

Let equivalent resistance be rR, then

1rR=1r+1r+1r...........10 times

1rR=10r=10R/10=100RrR=R100=0.01R  

Three resistors each of 2 ohm are connected together in a triangular shape. The resistance between any two vertices will be

Explanation

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 :

Explanation

In parallel, x=RnR = nx

In series, R + R + R .... n times = nR = n (nx) = n2x

Two resistances are joined in parallel whose resultant is 68 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

Explanation

If resistances are R1 and R2 then R1R2R1+R2=68 …..(i)

Suppose R2 is broken then R1=2Ω  …..(ii)

On solving equations (i) and (ii) we get R2=6/5Ω 

The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in series is always :
