A resistor has a resistance of 176 ohms. How many of these resistors should be connected in parallel so that their combination draws a current of 5 amperes from a 220 volt supply line?

Suppose x resistors should be connected in parallel to draw a current of 5A

for parallel combination


1/R = 1/R1 +1/R2+ 1/R3........x


According to the question


Requi=176/x


x=176/44=4 resistor
