Question:

Two resistors each of value 2 Ohms are connected in parallel combination. What is the effective resistance of the circuit?

Options:

2 Ohms

4 Ohms

1 Ohm

0.5 Ohms

Correct Answer:

1 Ohm

Explanation:

When n resistors of equal value are connected in parallel combination, the net resistance is = resistance / n

Reff = 2 Ohms/2 = 1 Ohm
