Judge the equivalent resistance when the following are connected in parallel(a) 1Ω and 10⁶Ω, (b) 1 Ω and 10³Ω, and 10⁶Ω
Medium
Solution
(a) For equivalent resistance in parallel combination, we have the formula 1/R= 1/R₁+1/R₂, So we get 1/R= 1/1+ 1/10⁶= 1.000001 Ω (b) 1/R= 1/R₁+1/R₂+1/R₃= 1/1+1/10³+1/10⁶= 1.001001 Ω
