Two 10ohm Resistors Have An Equivalent Resistance Of 50 Ohms When Connected In An Electric Circuit With A Source Of Potential Difference Using Circuit Symbols F class=

Answer :

The resistors are connected in parallel between the terminals of a battery.

Note: If those resistors are connected in parallel, then their equivalent resistance is already 5 ohms, even if they're still in the drawer or in a box on the shelf. They don't have to be connected to a source of voltage for that to happen.
