Question

Combine three resistors 5Ω,4.5Ω and 3Ω in such a way that the total resistance of this combination is maximum:
  1. 13.5Ω
  2. 12.5Ω
  3. 14.5Ω
  4. 16.5Ω

A
14.5Ω
B
13.5Ω
C
16.5Ω
D
12.5Ω
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given resistance,
R1=5ΩR2=4.5ΩR1=3Ω

In series combination effective resistance will be maximum.
ie, Req=R1+R2+R3
Req=5Ω+4.5Ω+3Ω=12.5Ω

Option A
