Q.14) If ‘N’ numbers of resistors of resistance R are connected in parallel across the voltage ‘V’, then which of the following statement is correct?
a) total voltage in the circuit is zero
b) current in each resistance will divide equally
c) voltage across each resistor will divide equally
c) current will be zero
Ans: b)
Explanation: b) Since the magnitude of current is equal as resistances are of magnitude, current in each resistance will divide equally.
Q.15) Resistance ‘P’ and ‘Q’ connected in series gives total resistance of 90 Ω, and if same resistances are connected in parallel effective resistance is 20 Ω, then values of P and Q are…..
a) 45 Ω, 45 Ω
b) 10 Ω, 80 Ω
c) 50 Ω, 40 Ω
d) 60 Ω, 30 Ω
Ans: d)
Explanation: d) here in first condition, R_s = P + Q = 90 Ω……….(1)
By second condition,
∴PQ = 900
∴P (90-P )= 1800
∴90 P-P2 =1800
∴P2 -90 P+1800=0
∴ (P-60)(P-30)=0
∴P = 60 or P = 30
∴ Q = 30 or Q = 60
