A uniform wire of resistance 50 ohm is cut


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 339 People


A uniform wire of resistance 50 ohms is cut into 5 equal parts. These parts are now connected in parallel.Then the equivalent resistance of the combination is

a) 2 ohmb) 12 ohmc) 250 ohmd) 6250 ohm​

Answered by admin @



Answer:

As resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire, when you cut the wire in 5 equal parts, the resistance gets reduced by 5 times i.e 10 ohms. As 5 resistors each with 10 ohms are connected in parallel,the equivalent resistance will be 10/5 = 2 ohms…
