20 POINTS!!!

pls helpp i have a test rn Which of the following would result in a lesser equivalent resistance?

A. Three 10 ohm resistors wired in parallel with a battery

B.Two 10 ohm res stors wired in series with a battery

C. One 10 ohm resistor wired with a battery

D. Two 10 ohm res stors wred in parallel with a battery

Answer 1

Option D: Two 10 ohm resistors wired in parallel with a battery would result in a lesser equivalent resistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the given options, the correct answer would be Option D.

When two 10 ohm resistors are wired in parallel with a battery, the equivalent resistance decreases.

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is given by the formula: 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...

So, in this case, with two 10 ohm resistors in parallel, the equivalent resistance would be: 1/Req = 1/10 + 1/10 = 2/10 = 1/5 ohms.
