Q56 - Resistances in series and parallel

An electric circuit consists of 100 branches connected in parallel. Each branch has 10 resistors in series, each with a value of R. What is the equivalent resistance? A) R B) 10R C) R/100 D) R/10 E) 100R
Pinned

The correct answer is D) R/10.

Each branch has 10 resistors in series, so 10R. A hundred identical branches in parallel divide that by 100: 10R/100 = R/10.
