Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Option 1.
Key Points
Concept:
The effective resistance of resistors in parallel is
The effective resistance of resistors in Series is
Reffective = R1 + R2
Explanation:
Case 1: R1 = 3 Ω, R2 = 3 Ω, R3 = 3 Ω in parallel
Reffective = 1 Ω (Minimum)
Case 2: R1 = 3 Ω, R2 = 3 Ω in parallel
Reffective = 1.5 Ω
Case 3: R1 = 1 Ω, R2 = 1 Ω in series
Reffective = 1 + 1 = 2 Ω
Case 4: R1 = 1 Ω, R2 = 1 Ω, R3 in series
Reffective = 1 + 1 +1 = 3 Ω (Maximum)
