STANDARD Physics Combination of Resistors MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
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
A
12
B
14
C
16
D
10
Correct Answer
Option C
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.
