Question

1. the resistance of a shorted resistor equals

±10% of color code value
a small value
infinite ohms
0 ohms

Explanation:

Step1: Understand resistor short - circuit

A short - circuited component has a path with extremely low resistance. For a resistor, when it is shorted, the current can bypass the resistor's normal resistance path.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option a: ±10% of color code value is related to the tolerance of a non - shorted resistor, not a shorted one.
• Option b: A small value is too vague. A shorted resistor has a well - defined resistance value (not just a small, undefined value).
• Option c: Infinite ohms is the case for an open - circuited resistor, not a shorted one.
• Option d: By definition, a shorted resistor (or any shorted component in an electrical circuit) has a resistance of \(0\) ohms as it provides a perfect conducting path (ideally) for the current.

Answer:

d. 0 ohms
