View Solution

You are given several identical resistances each of value $R = 10\,\Omega$ and each capable of carrying a maximum current of $1\,A$. It is required to make a suitable combination of these resistances to produce a resistance of $5\,\Omega$ which can carry a current of $4\,A$. The minimum number of resistances of the type $R$ that will be required for this job is:
