  1. Question 1

    Q1. A circuit with two identical resistors in parallel has a total resistance of 10 ohms. What is the resistance of each resistor?

    • A) 5 ohms
    • B) 7.5 ohms
    • C) 10/3 ohms
    • D) 20/3 ohms

    Answer: 7.5 ohms

    Explanation: The resistance of each resistor in a parallel circuit can be found by using the formula 1/R_total = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2.
