Question
How will you oonnect five resistors, each of the value one ohm, to obtain an equivalent resistance of 0.2 `Omega`

Solution
Five resistors each of value 1 ohm s hou Id be connected in paral le I to obtain an equivalent resistance of O. 2 ohm.
Equivalent parallel resistance RP = `("Resistance of each resistor"/"No. of resistors") = 1/5 = 0.2 Omega`
