Question

In the given circuits Y and Z, the resistors, R₁ and R₂, are connected in:

Options

• series in both the circuits

• parallel in both the circuits

• parallel in Y and series in Z

• series in Y and parallel in Z

Answer 1

parallel in both the circuits

Explanation:

On rearranging the resistors, it is evident that the positive terminal of each is connected to one end, while the negative terminal is connected to the other, confirming that they are in parallel.
