There are n similar conductors each of resistance R . The resultant resistance comes out to be x when connected in parallel. If they are connected in series, the resistance comes out to be

A

`x//n^(2)`

B

`n^(2)x`

C

`x//n`

D

`nx`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In parallel `x = R/n`
In series,
`R_(eq) = nR = n^(2)x`
