If a wire's resistance is 10 Ω, what would be the total resistance in a parallel circuit with another wire of resistance 10 Ω?

1

5 Ω

2

20 Ω

3

100 Ω

4

10 Ω

Answer and Solution

Answer

A. 5 Ω

Solution:

The total resistance R_p in parallel is given by 1/R_p = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2. Therefore, R_p = 10 Ω || 10 Ω = 5 Ω.
