For 0.5 Siemens of conductance, resistance will be:
Correct answer: B. 2 Ω
- A. 1 Ω
- B. 2 Ω
- C. 20 Ω
- D. 10 Ω
Explanation
The correct answer is 2 Ω. This is determined by applying the formula for resistance, which is the inverse of conductance. Given that conductance (G) is 0.5 Siemens, we calculate the resistance (R) as follows: R = 1/G = 1/0.5 = 2 Ω. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not satisfy the relationship between resistance and conductance. Specifically, option A suggests a resistance of 1 Ω, which would indicate a conductance of 1 Siemens, option C indicates a significantly higher resistance that implies very low conductance, and option D suggests a resistance that would indicate a conductance of only 0.1 Siemens.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
