What is the maximum resistance which can be made using five resistors each of `(1//5) Omega` ?

A

`1//5 Omega`

B

`10 Omega`

C

`5 Omega`

D

`1 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The maximum resistance is obtained when resistors are connected in series combination. Thus equivalent resistance
`R_(s) = n xx R = 5 xx (1)/(5) = 1 Omega, R_(s)` = equivalent resistance for parallel combination.
