Two resistors of resistance `R_(1)` and `R_(2)` having `R_(1) gt R_(2)` are connected in parallel. For equivalent resistance R, the correct statement is

A

`R gt R_(1) + R_(2)`

B

`R_(1) lt R lt R_(2)`

C

`R_(2) lt R lt (R_(1) + R_(2))`

D

`R lt R_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`R lt R_(2) lt R_(1)`
In parallel, equivalent resistance is less than smallest of the member of the resistance system.
