Let ' R be their equivalent resistance of the 4Ω and 6Ω resistors connected in parallel
Then, `1/R=1/4+1/6=(3+2)/12=5/12Ω`
Or, `R=12/5=2.4Ω`

With a neat labelled diagram and derive the equation for three resistances connected in parallel.
Show how you would connect two 4 ohm resistors to produce a combined resistance of (a) 2 ohms (b) 8 ohms.
Explain with diagram what is meant by the "series combination" and "parallel combination" of resistances. In which case the resultant resistance is : (i) less, and (ii) more, than either of the individual resistances?
In the diagram shown alongside, the cell and the ammeter both have negligible resistance. The resistors are identical.
With the switch K open, the ammeter reads 0.6 A. What will be the ammeter reading when the switch is closed?

The diagram above is a schematic diagram of a household circuit. The house shown in the above diagram has 5 usable spaces where electrical connections are made. For this house, the mains have a voltage of 220 V and the net current coming from the mains is 22A.
- What is the mode of connection to all the spaces in the house from the mains?
- The spaces 5 and 4 have the same resistance and spaces 3 and 2 have respective resistances of 20Ω and 30Ω. Space 1 has a resistance double that of space 5. What is the net resistance for space 5.
- What is the current in space 3?
- What should be placed between the main connection and the rest of the house’s electrical appliances to save them from accidental high electric current?
