Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFResistance:
- The measurement of the opposition of the flow of electric current through a conductor is called resistance of that conductor. It is denoted by R.
There are mainly two ways of the combination of resistances:
1. Resistances in series:
- When two or more resistances are connected one after another such that the same current flows through them are called resistances in series.
- The net resistance/equivalent resistance (R) of resistances in series is given by:
- Equivalent resistance, R = R1 + R2
- In series combination of resistance, current is same through each resistance.
2. Resistances in parallel:
- When the terminals of two or more resistances are connected at the same two points and the potential difference across them is equal is called resistances in parallel.
- In parallel combination of resistances, voltage across each resistor is same.
- The net resistance/equivalent resistance(R) of resistances in parallel is given by:
