Answer:
Explanation:
The resistance of the material is directly connected to it’s length. So when the wire is cut cut into equal parts, then the resistance is reduced by the no of parts.
when 50 ohm wire is cut into 5 equal parts… then each part will have a resistance of 50/5=10 ohm.
Again when connecting parallelly, the total resistance will be…
1/R = 1/10+1/10+1/10+1/10+1/10
1/R = 5/10
R = 2 ohm
