STANDARD Physics Combination of Resistors MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
n resistors each of resistance R first combine to give maximum effective resistance and then combine to give minimum effective resistance. The ratio of the maximum to minimum resistance is
A
n
B
n²
C
n² − 1
D
n³
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
To get maximum equivalent resistance, all resistances must be connected in series, giving nR. For minimum equivalent resistance, all resistances must be connected in parallel, giving R/n. The ratio is (nR)/(R/n) = n².
