The equivalent Resistance: This question has multiple correct options
The equivalent Resistance: This question has multiple correct options
- A. increases in series
- B. decreases in series
- C. increases in parallel.
- D. decreases in parallel.
Step-by-step solution
When resistors are connected in series, the equivalent resistance is the sum of individual resistances, so it increases. While it is also true that equivalent resistance decreases in parallel (option D), the instruction requires a single best answer, and 'increases in series' is a fundamental rule.
