Question

State true or false.
For two resistances in combination, parallel connection gives larger effective resistance than the series connection.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

For parallel circuit,
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+........+\frac{1}{R_n}$


For resistance placed in series,
$R_{eq}$ = $R_1$ + $R_2$ + $R_3$ + ........ + $R_n$
