You do a combination in series of resistors,
consisting of an A resistor, which has a very high resistance, and a B resistor, which has a
very low resistance. The equivalent resistance for this combination is and explain why:
a) Slightly higher than resistor resistance A.
b) Slightly lower than resistor resistance A.
c) Slightly higher than resistor resistance B.
d) Slightly lower than resistor resistance B.

Answer #1

Ans::

a) Slightly higher than resistor resistance A

Since, as resistors are connected in series, their equivalent resistance is equal to the summation of all resistors.

For example,

if

Ra=2 ohm and Rb=0.5 ohm,then their equivalent when connected in series is Req=2+0.5=2.5 ohm,which is slightly greater than resistor Ra.

Hence ,when a combination in series of resistors,
consisting of an A resistor, which has a very high resistance, and a B resistor, which has a very low resistance is made,  The equivalent resistance for this combination is "Slightly higher than resistor resistance A"
