NEET Physics Resistors in Parallel MCQ Question
Two resistors of resistances R₁ = (100 ± 3) Ω and R₂ = (200 ± 4) Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination is
66.7 ± 1.8 Ω
66.7 ± 4.0 Ω
66.7 ± 3.0 Ω
66.7 ± 7.0 Ω
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The equivalent resistance of parallel resistors is calculated using the formula 1/R_eq = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂, and the uncertainty is calculated using error propagation.
