What is the number of equal parts into which a conductor having a resistance 100ohm should be cut to obtain the resistance 1ohm if the parts are connected in parallels?

Answer 1

To obtain a total resistance of 1 ohm from a conductor with a resistance of 100 ohms when the parts are connected in parallel, you need to cut the conductor into 100 equal parts. Each part will then have a resistance of 1 ohm. When 100 of these 1-ohm resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance is calculated using the formula ( R_{total} = \frac{R}{n} ), where ( n ) is the number of resistors, resulting in ( R_{total} = \frac{1, \text{ohm}}{100} ) = 1 ohm.
