13. Amongst which of the following states is the correct relationship between the conductance and the resistance in a parallel circuit combination?
- Conductance is directly proportional to the square of resistance
- Conductance is inversely proportional to the square of resistance
- Conductance is directly proportional to the resistance
- Conductance is inversely proportional to the resistance
Answer: D) Conductance is inversely proportional to the resistance
Explanation:
The relationship between conductance (G) and resistance (R) in a parallel circuit combination is that conductance is inversely proportional to resistance. This can be stated mathematically as G = 1 / R.
As more resistors are connected in parallel, the overall conductance rises while the total resistance falls.
