  • A \(\frac{5}{99}\)ohms in series with it
  • B \(\frac{5}{99}\)ohms in parallel with it
  • C \(\frac{99}{5}\)ohms in series with it
  • D \(\frac{99}{5}\)ohms in parallel with it
  • E 2 ohms in series with it
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
I = 1 - (10 x 10-3)
= 0.99A
IR = 10 x 10 x 10-3 x 5
R = \(\frac{5}{99}\)\(\Omega\)
