Resistance $n$, each of $r$ ohm, when connected in parallel give an equivalent resistance $R \mathrm{~ohm}$. If these resistances were connected in series, the combination would have a resistance in ohms, equal to :
  1. $n^2 R$
  2. $\frac{R}{n^2}$
  3. $\frac{R}{n}$
  4. $n R$

Solution

According the question: $\begin{aligned} R & =\frac{r}{n} \\ \Rightarrow \quad r & =n R \\ \therefore \quad R \text { series } & =n r=n^2 R \end{aligned}$
