Three resistors of resistance 5 ohm, 3 o...

Three resistors of resistance 5 ohm, 3 ohm and 2 ohm are connected in series with 10 V battery. Calculate their effective resistance and the current flowing through the circuit.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`R_(1)=5Omega,R_(2)=3Omega,R_(3)=2Omega,V=10V`
`Rs=R_(1)+R_(2)+R_(3)`,
`R_(s)=5+3+2=10`, hence
`R_(s)=10Omega`
The current, `I=(V)/(R_(s))=(10)/(10)=1A`

When three resistors are connected in series then the value of the effective resistance is

less than the individual resistance

greater than the individual resistance

greater than or equal ot individual resistance

less than or equal in individual resistance

When 'n' resistors of requal resistance (R) are connected in series and in parallel resectively, then the ratio of their effective resistance is

`1:n^(2)`

`n^(2):1`

`n:1`

`1:n`

When three resistors are connected in parallel then the value of the effective resistance is __________

less than or equal to individual resistance

greater than or equal to invidiual resistance

less than the individual resistance

greter than the individual resistance
