Question #1 Report Error
What is the equivalent resistance when n identical resistors, each of resistance R, are connected in series, compared to when they are connected in parallel?
A. Series resistance is equal to the parallel resistance.
B. Series resistance is n² times the parallel resistance.
C. Parallel resistance is n² times the series resistance.
D. Series resistance is n times the parallel resistance.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
When n resistors of resistance R are in series, Rs = nR. When connected in parallel, Rp = R/n. To find the ratio, Rs / Rp = (nR) / (R/n) = n². Therefore, the series resistance is n² times the equivalent parallel resistance. This is a highly frequent numerical shortcut for exams.

The relation V = IR is applicable to
A. Non-ohmic devices
B. Gaseous conductors
C. Semiconductors
D. Ohmic conductors

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ohm's law V=IR is linear relationship, valid for ohmic materials like metals at constant temperature. Non-ohmic do not follow linear I-V. Semiconductors are non-ohmic.

A metal spoon placed in a hot cup of tea gets hot due to
A. Evaporation
B. Radiation
C. Convection
D. Conduction

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Heat travels through spoon from hot end to cold end by conduction (molecular vibration and free electrons). Handle gets hot. Metal good conductor.
