Answer»  when the piece of wire having resistance R is cut into 5 . then the resistance of each parts becomes R/5. due to the change in length from l to l/5. now if the resistances are connected in parallel. the the resulting R' is 1/R' = 1/(R/5)+1/(R/5)+1/(R/5)+1/(R/5)+1/(R/5) => 1/R' = 5*(5/R) = 25/R => R' = R/25 so, the value of R/R' = 1/(1/25) = 25.  |
