Physics-Resistance & Resistivity

NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about the equivalent resistance of resistors in a network is correct?

A

The equivalent resistance can be calculated using Kirchhoff's rules if the network is complex.

B

All resistors in a complex network must be reducible to simple series or parallel combinations.

C

The current through each resistor in a complex network is always the same.

D

The symmetry in a resistor network does not affect the calculation of equivalent resistance.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In a complex resistor network, the equivalent resistance can indeed be calculated using Kirchhoff's rules by utilizing the symmetry in the circuit, as highlighted in the NCERT context regarding Kirchhoff's rules and networks.
