उत्तर
The two resistors of 2 Ω each should be connected in parallel combination to produce equivalent resistance of 1 Ω.
`1/R=1/R_1+1/R_2 `
`1/R=1/2+1/2`
or `1/R=2/2`
R=1 Ω
R = 1
Total resistance, R = 1 Ω
Resistance In parallel arangement is given by `
`1R=1R_1+1R_2`
`1R=12+12 or 1R=22 `
`R=1Ω `

Why should an ammeter have low resistance?
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.
