STANDARD Physics Combination of Resistors MCQ Question
The equivalent resistance of series combination of four equal resistors is S. If they are joined in parallel, the total resistance is P. The relation between S and P is given by S = nP. Then the minimum possible value of n is
12
14
16
10
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For four equal resistors, the series resistance S = 4R and the parallel resistance P = R/4. Therefore, S = nP implies 4R = n(R/4), leading to n = 16.
