Four resistances of 16 ohms each are connected in parallel. Four such combinations are connected in series. What is the total resistance?

उत्तर
When four resistors of 16 Ω each are connected in parallel, the effective resistance of the combination can be obtained as:
`1/R=1/R_1+1/R_2+1/R_3+1/R_4`
or `1/R=1/16+1/16+1/16+1/16`
or `1/R=4/16`
or `1/R=1/4`
or `R=4`Ω
The effective resistance of combination is 4 Î.
When four such combinations are connected in series, the effective resistance becomes:
R = R1 + R2+ R3 + R4
R = 4 Î + 4 Î + 4 Î + 4 Î = 16 Ω

The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm’s Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes, E1 and E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.
