if u connect 3 resistors, having values 2ohm, 3ohm, 5ohm in parallel, will the value of total resistance of will be 2ohm or greater than 5ohm or lie between 2ohm and 5oh? EXPLAIN

Accepted Answer

If u want only WHether the total resistance is
less than 2 or less than 5 or more than 5 ohms:  there is a Simple way.
When you connect resistances in parallel, resultant resistance is always
smaller than all of them. So it is less than 2 ohms.

[tex]\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}=\\
\frac{10}{30}+\frac{15}{30}+\frac{6}{30}=\\
\frac{31}{30}\\\\
R_t=\frac{30}{31} \ \Omega\approx0.97\ \Omega[/tex]
