resistors are connected in parallel. If one resistor is removed, the total resistance is25
500
100
20
Answer: Option
Explanation:
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 1/R = 1/100 + 1/100 + 100 + 1/100 1/R = 4/100 1/R = 1/25 Therefore R = 25 ohm.

If the equal value of resistances is connected in parallel, then the effective resistance of parallel combination is given by.
Suppose n branches have the resistances R then,
Re = R/n.
Suppose n branches have the resistances R then,
Re = R/n.

Re = R/n.
Step1:
5 registers of 100 Ω.
So Re = 100/5 = 20 Ω.
Step2:
1 removed so 100/4 = 25 Ω.
