17. Five 100 Ω resistors are connected in parallel. If one resistor is removed, the total resistance is ________.

(a) 25 Ω
(b) 500 Ω
(c) 100 Ω
(d) 20 Ω

Answer
Answer : (a)
Explanation
Explanation : 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 1/R = 1/100 + 1/100 + 100 + 1/100 1/R = 4/100 1/R = 1/25 Therefore R = 25 ohm. Let us discuss.

19. Four equal-value resistors are connected in parallel. Ten volts are applied across the parallel circuit and 2 mA are measured from the source. The value of each resistor is ________.

(a) 12.5 Ω
(b) 200 Ω
(c) 20 KΩ
(d) 50 Ω

Answer
Answer : (c)
