उत्तर
There are four coils of resistances: 4 Ω, 8 Ω, 12 Ω and 24 Ω, respectively.
(a) If these coils are connected in series, then the equivalent resistance will be the highest, given by the sum 4 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 48 Ω
(b) If these coils are connected in parallel, then the equivalent resistance will be the lowest, given by,
`1/(1/4+1/8+1/12+1/24)=1/((6+3+2+1)/24)=24/12=2 Omega`
Therefore, 2 Ω is the lowest total resistance.
