If you connect three resistors having values $2 \, \Omega$, $3 \, \Omega$, and $5 \, \Omega$ in parallel, will the value of total resistance be less than $2 \, \Omega$, greater than $5 \, \Omega$, or lie between $2 \, \Omega$ and $5 \, \Omega$? Explain.

  • A
    Less than $2 \, \Omega$
  • B
    Greater than $5 \, \Omega$
  • C
    Between $2 \, \Omega$ and $5 \, \Omega$
  • D
    Equal to $10 \, \Omega$
