When resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance:
A
Increases
B
Becomes infinite
C
Remains the same as any one resistor
D
Decreases below the smallest individual resistance
Correct Answer: Option D — Decreases below the smallest individual resistance
Explanation:
When resistors are connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the total resistance equals the sum of the reciprocals of each individual resist...
When resistors are connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the total resistance equals the sum of the reciprocals of each individual resistance, always resulting in a total less than the smallest resistor.
