The equivalent resistance of a group of resistances is $R$. If another resistance is connected in parallel to the group,its new equivalent becomes $R_1$,and if it is connected in series to the group,its new equivalent becomes $R_2$. We have:

  • A
    $R_1 > R$
  • B
    $R_1 < R$
  • C
    $R_2 > R$
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$
