Question

Judge the equivalent resistance when the following are connected in parallel (i) 1Ω and 10⁶ Ω), (ii) 1Ω and 10³ Ω and 10⁶ Ω.

Answer 1

(i) When a number of  resistance are connected in parallel, then their combined resistance is less than the smallest individual resistance. Therefore, equivalent resistance will be less than 1Ω
(ii) In this case, also the equivalent resistance will be less than 1Ω
