Question

The maximum resistance of a network of five identical resistors of `1/5  Omega` each can be ______.

Options

• 1 Ω

• 0.5 Ω

• 0.25 Ω

• 0.1 Ω

Answer 1

The maximum resistance of a network of five identical resistors of `1/5  Omega` each can be 1 Ω.

Explanation:

Maximum resistance is when connected in parallel. R_max = 5 x R (resistance of 1 resistor).
