If a person has five resistors each of value 15Ω then the maximum resistance he can obtain by connecting them is:
(1)
Resistance of one resistor = 15Ω
Number of resistors = 5
Maximum resistance can be obtained by combining the resistors in series:
Rs=R1+R2+R3+R4+R5=15+15+15+15+15=1+1+1+1+15=55=1Ω
Hence, a person on combining five resistors in series gets resistance 1 Ω
