The effective resistance of two resistors in parallel is ` (12)/(7) Omega`. If one of the resistors is disconnected the resistance becomes `4 Omega`. The resistance of the other resistor isA. `4Omega`B. `3Omega`C. `(12)/(7)Omega`D. `(7)/(12)Omega` |

Answer» Correct Answer - B Given, `R_(1)= 4Omega` Using the relation for parallel combination of two resistors `(R_(1)R_(2))/(R_(1)+R_(2))=(12)/(7), R_(1)=4 Omega, R_(2) = ?` or `" " (4R_(2))/(4+R_(2))=(12)/(7)` or `28R_(2)=48+12 R_(2)` or `16 R_(2)=48 rArr R_(2) = 3 Omega` |
