A piece of wire of resistance R is cut into five equal parts. These parts are then connected in parallel. If the equivalent resistance of this combination is R′, then the ratio R/R′ is –
(a) 1/25 (b) 1/5 (c) 5 (d) 25
(d) Resistance of a piece of wire is proportional to its length. A piece of wire has a resistance R. The wire is cut into five equal parts.
Therefore, resistance of each part =
All the five parts are connected in parallel. Hence, equivalent resistance (R’) is given as
Therefore, the ratio is 25.
