A wire of resistance \(R\) and length \(L\) is cut into 5 equal parts. If these parts are joined parallely, then resultant resistance will be _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{R}{25}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Resistance of each part \(=\frac{R}{5}\)
Total resistance \(=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{R}{5}=\frac{R}{25}\)
Total resistance \(=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{R}{5}=\frac{R}{25}\)
