Three 3Ω resistors in parallel: equivalent resistance is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Three 3Ω resistors in parallel: equivalent resistance is:
A.
B.
C. 0.33Ω
D.
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
1/R_eq = 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 ⇒ R_eq = 1Ω. For n equal resistors in parallel: R_eq = R/n. Memory tip: 'Parallel: reciprocal sum; result < smallest resistor'. Basic circuit calculation frequently tested in competitive exams to verify parallel combination formula.

Question #3 Report Error
Photon energy E = hν. For higher frequency light, photon energy is:
A. Lower
B. Higher
C. Same
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
E ∝ ν: higher frequency ⇒ higher photon energy. Gamma rays (high ν) more energetic than radio waves (low ν). Memory aid: 'E = hν; blue light photons more energetic than red'. Quantum physics relation frequently tested in competitive exams.
