Which of the following statements regarding resistors are true?
When connecting two resistors in parallel, the resulting resitance is simply the sum of the two resistances.
When connecting two resistors in series, the same current flows through both.
When connecting two resistors in series, both have the same voltage across.
Connecting two resistors of equal resistance in parallel results in half the resistance.
| A: False | B: True |
Solution
When connecting two resistors in parallel, the resulting resistance is simply the sum of the two resistances.- FALSE
When connecting two resistors in series, the same current flows through both- TRUE
When connecting two resistors in series, both have the same voltage across.- FALSE
Connecting two resistors of equal resistance in parallel results in half the resistance.- TRUE
When connected in series, resistances are added and same current flows through all the resistances.
When connected in parallel, reciprocal of equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of reciprocals of the individual resistances. And same voltage flows through all.
