उत्तर
Total number of resistors = n
Resistance of each resistor = R
(i) When n resistors are connected in series, effective resistance R1 is the maximum, given by the product nR.
Hence, the maximum resistance of the combination, R1 = nR
(ii) When n resistors are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (R2) is the minimum, given by the ratio `"R"/"n"`.
Hence, minimum resistance of the combination, R2 = `"R"/"n"`
The ratio of the maximum to the minimum resistance is,
`"R"_1/"R"_2 = ("nR")/("R"/"n") = "n"^2`
