Answer:

<em>The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Resistance</u>

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

Parallel connection of resistances: If R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}

If we have 10 wires of resistance R/10 each and connect them in parallel, the equivalent resistance is:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}...+\frac{1}{R/10}

This sum is repeated 10 times. Operating each term:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+...+\frac{10}{R}

All the terms have the same denominator, thus:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=10\frac{10}{R}=\frac{100}{R}

Taking the reciprocals:

R_e=R/100

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the forward displacement is taken is positive, and the backward displacement is taken is negative.

first displacement = + 18 cm

second displacement = - 6 cm

third displacement = - 12 cm

net displacement = 18 - 12 - 6 = 0 cm
