The `V-I` graphs of parallel and series combinations of two metallic resistors are shown in (Fig. 3.53). Which graph represents the parallel combinations ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In parallel combination , resistance is smaller than that in series combination. Since slope `(V//I)` is smaller for graph `A`, it represents the parallel combination.
