STANDARD Physics Combination of Resistors MCQ Question
Five equal resistances of 10 Ω are connected between A and B as shown in figure. The resultant resistance is
10 Ω
5 Ω
15 Ω
6 Ω
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The circuit forms a combination of series and parallel resistances. Two sets of 10 Ω resistors are in series, each giving 20 Ω. These are in parallel with another 10 Ω resistor, resulting in an equivalent resistance of 5 Ω.
