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`

A hot plate of an electric oven connected to a 220 V line has two resistance coils A and B, each of 24 Ω resistances, which may be used separately, in series, or in parallel. What are the currents in the three cases?
State the law of combination of resistances in parallel.
The figure given below shows three resistors?
Their combined resistance is:
(a) `1 5/7`Ω
(b) `14` Ω
(c) `6 2/3` Ω
(d) `7 1/2` Ω
Four resistors each of resistance 2Ω are connected in parallel. What is the effective resistance?
A combination consists of three resistors in series. Four similar sets are connected in parallel. If the resistance of each resistor is 2 ohm, find the resistance of the combination.
What are the advantages of a parallel connection?
Explain, why is the p.d. between the terminals of a storage battery less when it is supplying current than when it is on open circuit. A battery of e.m.f. 10 volts and internal resistance 2.5 ohms has two resistances of 50 ohms each connected to it. Calculate the power dissipated in each resistance
(a) When they are in series,
(b) When they are in parallel.
In each case calculate the power dissipated in the battery.
Two resistors of resistance 4 тДж and 6 тДж are connected in parallel to a cell to draw 0.5 A current from the cell.
Calculate current in each resistor.
Calculate equivalent resistance in the following cases:
A piece of wire having a resistance R is cut into five equal parts.
- How will the resistance of each part of the wire change compared with the original resistance?
- If the five parts of the wire are placed in parallel, how will the resistance of the combination change?
- What will be ratio of the effective resistance in series connection to that of the parallel connection?
