Question
Several resistors are connected in parallel. Which of the following statements are true of the corresponding equivalent resistance? (Select all that apply.)
- It is less than the resistance of any of the individual resistors.
- It is dependent on the voltage applied across the series.
- It is greater than the resistance of any of the individual resistors.
- It is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the inverses of the resistances of all the resistors.
- It is equal to the sum of the resistances of all the resistors in the series.
Explanation / Answer
The correct statements are:
It is less than the resistance of any of the individual resistors.
It is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the inverses of the resistances of all the resistors.
