Question

Two resistors of resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ having $R_{1} > R_{2}$ are connected in parallel. For equivalent resistance $R$, the correct statement is

• A. $R > R_{1} + R_{2}$
• B. $R_{1} < R < R_{2}$
• C. $R_{2} < R < \left(R_{1}+R_{2}\right)$
• D. $R < R_{1}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Equivalent resistance of parallel resistors is always less than any of the member of the resistance system.
