  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 10-ohm resistor is connected in series with a 5-ohm resistor. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

    • A) 10 ohms
    • B) 15 ohms
    • C) 5 ohms
    • D) 12 ohms

    Answer: 15 ohms

    Explanation: The equivalent resistance is the sum of the individual resistances, making 15 ohms a plausible but incorrect answer.
