Marking scheme

  1. 1.1 mark for correct answer
  2. 2.0 marks for incorrect answer

Hint

Use the formulas for series and parallel resistors to calculate the equivalent resistance for each combination.

Quick oral answer

The correct answer is A) I and IV. This is because the equivalent resistance of combination I is 4Ω, which is not equal to 1Ω. The equivalent resistance of combination II is 1.5Ω, which is also not equal to 1Ω. The equivalent resistance of combination III is 6Ω, which is not equal to 1Ω. However, the equivalent resistance of combination IV is 0.25Ω, which is equal to 1Ω when rounded to two decimal places. Therefore, the correct answer is A) I and IV.

Common mistakes

  1. 1.Incorrect calculation of equivalent resistance
  2. 2.Failure to consider all combinations

Analysis and explanation

The question requires the student to analyze the given combinations of resistors and determine which ones have an equivalent resistance of 1Ω. The student must use the formulas for series and parallel resistors to calculate the equivalent resistance for each combination. The correct answer is A) I and IV, as these are the only combinations that have an equivalent resistance of 1Ω.

Interesting facts

The concept of equivalent resistance is important in electronics and electrical engineering.

The formulas for series and parallel resistors can be used to simplify complex circuits.
