A wire of resistance 16 `Omega` is cut into 4 equal parts. These parts are then connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combination is

A

`16Omega`

B

`4Omega`

C

`64Omega`

D

`1Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Resistance of each part `R. = 16/4 Omega = 4Omega`
`therefore` Resistance of parallel combination of 4 such parts
` = (R.)/(4) = 4/4 = 1 Omega`
