Explain with the help of a labelled circuit diagram, how you will find the resistance of a combination of three resistors of resistances R1, R2 and R3 joined in parallel.
In the diagram shown below, the cell and the ammeter both have negligible resistance. The resistor are identical.
A wire of resistance R1 is cut into five equal pieces. These five pieces of wire are then connected in parallel. If the resultant resistance of this combination be R2, then the ratio `R_1/R_2` is:
(a) `1/25`
(b)1/5
(c)5
(c)25
