Three resistances of 1 \(\Omega\), 2 \(\Omega\) and 3 \(\Omega\) are given. In order to obtain an equivalent resistance of 11/3 \(\Omega\) they are to be connected as

  1. A 3 \(\Omega\) in series with parallel combination of 1 \(\Omega\) and 2 \(\Omega\)
  2. B 3 \(\Omega\) in parallel with series combination of 1 \(\Omega\) and 2 \(\Omega\)
  3. C all in parallel
  4. D 1\(\Omega\) in series with parallel combination of 2 \(\Omega\) and 3 \(\Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3 \(\Omega\) in series with parallel combination of 1 \(\Omega\) and 2 \(\Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R_{p} = \frac{1 \times 2}{1 + 2} = \frac{2}{3} \, \Omega\) \(R_{eq} = 3 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{9+2}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \, \Omega\)
