प्रश्न
A resistor has a resistance of 176 ohms. How many of these resistors should be connected in parallel so that their combination draws a current of 5 amperes from a 220 volt supply line?
उत्तर
Suppose x resistors should be connected in parallel to draw a current of 5 A.
For a parallel combination, 1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 + ... (x times)
Here, R1 = R2 = R3 = ... = 176 Ω
Then the resultant resistance, R = 176 / x Ω
Given that the current, I = 5 A and voltage, V = 220 V
Then by Ohm's law, V = IR
By substituting the values, we get:
`220=5xx176/x`
x = 4
Hence, four resistors of 176 Ω each should be connected in parallel to draw a current of 5 A from a 220 V supply line.
