Question

What is the maximum resistance which can be made using five resistors each of `1/5` W?

Options

• `1/5` Ω

• 10 Ω

• 5 Ω

• 1 Ω

Answer 1

1 Ω

Explanation:

Series combination provide the maximum resistance.

Hence, R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄ + R₅

= `1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5`

= `5/5`

= 1 Ω
