FOR WIRE A ,

RA = rho L/A = rho L/pie* r square -equation 1

RB = rho 2L/pie(2r)square = rho 2L/4 pie*r square

=rho L/2 pie * r square -equation 2

RA/RB = rho L/pie * r square * 2 pie *r square/rho L

RA/RB = 2

RA = 2RB , RB = RA/2

1/Rp = 1/RA + 1/RB

=1/RA +1/RB

1/Rp = 3/RA

Rp/RA = 1/3

Hence the ratio is 1:3

How is resistivity connected to resistance?

Resistance is connected in parallel with voltmeter or say, voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistance.


A piece of copper wire was cut into n equal parts these parts are connected in parallel how will the resistance of the parallel combination compare with the resistance of the wire?

The resulting resistance of the parallel combination will be the resistance of the original wire divided by n squared.


Why do you have specific resistance combination inside a voltmeter and an ammeter Explain?

in voltmeter we have internal Resistance and connected in series , to current don't transfer in voltmeter , and we have internal resistance in ammeter and connected in parallel , to most current transfer through the ammeter.


What is a resistor bank?

In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.


Is every resistance load resistance?

No. Load resistance is the value of the element actually doing the work of the circuit it is connected to. A speaker connected to an amplifier is the load.


What is the equivalent resistance of three resistor with 3 ohms connected in star?

There is no 'equivalent resistance' for three resistors connected in star.


How much electrical resistance would you expect an ohmmeter to indicate if it were connected across the combination of these two series connected resistors of 3.3 kilowatt ohms and 3.3 kilowatt ohms?

It would be the sum of the two resistances, as they are connected in series.


How to measure resistance of series combination?

When connected in series, the overall effective resistance of a bunch of individual resistors is the sum of the individual resistances. It's always more than the resistance of any individual. When connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the overall resistance of a bunch of individual resistors is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. It's always less than the resistance of any individual. When two resistors are connected in parallel, the overall effective resistance of the pair is (the product of the two individual resistances) divided by (the sum of the two individual resistances). It's always less than the smaller individual resistance.


When 2 resistors are connected in parallel r1r2 are?

Two resistors connected in parallel are 1/2 the sum of their resistance. The resistance of two resistors connected in series is the sum of their resistance. For example: The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in parallel is 100+200 divided by 2 = 150 ohms. The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in series 100+200= 300 ohms.

Three resistances each of 4 ohm are connected to form a triangle the resistance between any two terminals is?

That's like having a series combination of 4 + 4 ohms, in parallel with another resistance of 4 ohms. Calculate the series resistance, then use the parallel formula to combine it with the third resistance.
