Question 11

A wire of resistance $$R$$ and length $$L$$ is cut into $$5$$ equal parts. If these parts are joined parallely, then resultant resistance will be :

A wire of resistance $$R$$ and length $$L$$ is cut into 5 equal parts.

Each part has length $$L/5$$ and resistance $$R/5$$.

When 5 resistors of resistance $$R/5$$ each are joined in parallel:

$$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{5}{R/5} = \frac{25}{R}$$

$$R_{eq} = \frac{R}{25}$$

The answer is $$\frac{R}{25}$$, which corresponds to Option (1).
