Two 20 ohm resistors are connected in parallel and two 10 ohm resistors are connected in parallel. If these two combinations are
connected in series the equivalent resistance of the combination is: a) 20 ohm b) 10 ohm c) 15 Ohm d) 30 Ohm
1 answer:
C. 15Ω.
The circuit diagram is shown in the first image attached. To solve this problem we have to use the equivalent resistor conected in parallel Req = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2).
Calculating the equivalent resistor in the 20Ω resistor parallel arrangement:
RAeq = [(20*20)/(20+20)] Ω
RAeq = 400/40 Ω
RAeq = 10Ω
Calculating the equivalent resistor in the 10Ω resistor parallel arrangement:
RBeq = [(10*10)/(10+10)]Ω
RBeq = 100/20 Ω
RBeq = 5Ω
Both equivalent resistors are in series. So, in order to calculate the equivalent resistance of the combination:
Rtotal = RAeq + RBeq
Rtotal = 10Ω + 5Ω
Rtotal = 15Ω

Explanation:
Given that,
Object distance u= -110 cm
Image distance v= 55 cm
We need to calculate the focal length for diverging lens
Using formula of lens
Put the value into the formula
The focal length of the diverging lens is 36.6 cm.
Now given a thin lens with same magnitude of focal length 36.6 cm is replaced.
Here, The object distance is again the same.
We need to calculate the image distance for converging lens
Using formula of lens
Here, focal length is positive for converging lens
The distance of the image is 54.85 cm from converging lens.
Hence, This is the required solution.
