  1. Question 1

    Q1. The equivalent resistance between two points in a circuit is 5 ohm. If a 5 ohm resistor is connected in series, the new equivalent resistance is

    • A) 10 ohm
    • B) 5 ohm
    • C) 15 ohm
    • D) 20 ohm

    Answer: 10 ohm

    Explanation: Using Rs = R1 + R2, where R1 = 5, R2 = 5, we get Rs = 5 + 5 = 10 ohm
