Question

A 5 $\Omega$ resistor and a 10 $\Omega$ resistor are connected in parallel. What is the equivalent resistance of the combination?

• A. \( 3.33 \, \Omega \)
• B. \( 15 \, \Omega \)
• C. \( 7.5 \, \Omega \)
• D. \( 2 \, \Omega \)

Hint:

Remember: For resistors in parallel, the equivalent resistance is always less than the smallest resistor.
