  1. Question 1

    Q1. Two resistors of 6 ohms and 3 ohms are connected in parallel. Their combined resistance is:

    • A) 2 ohms
    • B) 9 ohms
    • C) 18 ohms
    • D) 4.5 ohms

    Answer: 2 ohms

    Explanation: Using the parallel formula: R = (6 × 3)/(6 + 3) = 18/9 = 2 Ω; resistors in parallel always give a combined resistance lower than the smallest individual resistor.
