Question
What is the equivalent resistance of 5 equal resistors, each of value 2`Omega` 1 when oonnected in (a) Series ( b) ParaIleI?
Solution
(a) In series:
Equivalent series resistance, Rs = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 `Omega`
(b) In parallel
Equivalent parallel resistance RP = `("Resistance of each resistor"/"No. of Resistors") = 2/5 Omega`
