If a  4.7  $\mathrm { k } \Omega$ resistor and  2.2  $\mathrm { k } \Omega$ resistor are connected in parallel, the total resistance is____
A)  4700$\Omega$
B)  2200$\Omega$
C) greater than 2200 $\Omega$
D) less than 2200 $\Omega$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total resistance of resistors in parallel is less than the smallest resistor in the group. Here, since 2.2 kΩ is the smallest, the total resistance will be less than 2200 Ω.
