Three equal resistors connected in series across a source of $e.m.f.$ together dissipate $10\, watt$. If the same resistors are connected in parallel across the same $e.m.f.$, then the power dissipated will be .............. $watt$
A$10$
B$30$
C$10/3$
D$90$

D$90$
d (d) In series ${P_S} = \frac{P}{n}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $10 = \frac{P}{3}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $P = 30\,W$
In parallel ${P_P} = nP = 3 × 30 = 90\, W$

A $200\,\Omega $ resistor has a certain color code. If one replaces the red color by green in the code, the new resistance will be .............. $\Omega$
In an experiment, the resistance of a material is plotted as a function of temperature (in some range). As shown in the figure, it is a straight line. One may conclude that:
Three resistors are connected to form the sides of a triangle $ABC$, the resistance of the sides $AB$, $BC$ and $CA$ are $40\,ohms$, $60\,ohms$ and $100\,ohms$ respectively. The effective resistance between the points $A$ and $B$ in $ohms$ will be
