Resistance of Parallel CombinationHardQuestion 31657

Question

N identical resistors each of resistance R are connected in parallel. Equivalent resistance is:
  1. A
    NR
  2. B
    R/N
    Correct
  3. C
    R
  4. D
    R²N

Correct answer

R/N

Explanation

1/R_eq = N/R → R_eq = R/N. Parallel combination always has lower resistance than any individual resistor.
