The velocity of charge carriers of current(about 1A) in a metal under normal conditions is of the order of
a fraction of mm/s
velocity of light
several thousand m/s
a few hundred m/s
You are given several identical resistances each of value and each capable of carrying a maximum current of one ampere. It is required to make a suitable combination of these resistances of which can carry a current of 4 A. The minimum number of resistances of the type R that will be required for this job is
