Question:
Questions 1-2 relate to the diagram below.
Answer the questions about the parts of the electrical circuit listed below by choosing the letter that correctly represents the quantity in question. Between which two points is the resistance the largest? Choices:
The correct answer is B. Calculate the total resistance between each pair of points:
Between points A and B are three
The resistance between points B and C is
Between points D and E, there are two
So, the largest resistance is between points B and C: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
in parallel. The total resistance of the 3, 
, is:
, as there is only one resistor. Similarly, the resistance between points C and D is 
.
resistors in parallel. The total equivalent resistance of the two, 
, is:
