When do we say that the resistors are connected in parallel?

  • A
    When the current through each resistor is the same.
  • B
    When the potential difference across each resistor is the same.
  • C
    When the total resistance is the sum of individual resistances.
  • D
    When the resistors are connected end-to-end.

Nichrome is used to make the element of an electric heater. Why?

Two wires of the same metal have the same length, but cross-sections are in the ratio $3 : 1$. They are joined in series. The resistance of the thicker wire is $10\, \Omega$. The total resistance of the combination will be:

You are given three resistors of $10\, \Omega, 10\, \Omega, 20\, \Omega$,a battery of emf $2.5\, V$,a key,an ammeter,and a voltmeter. Draw a circuit diagram showing the correct connections of the given components such that the voltmeter gives a reading of $2.0\, V$.
