14. Amongst which of the following states is the correct relationship between the conductance and the resistance in a series circuit combination?

1. In a series circuit, total conductance is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of its resistances
2. In a series circuit, total conductance is equal to the reciprocal of the product of its resistances
3. In a series circuit, total conductance is equal to the reciprocal of its resistances
4. None of the above

Answer: A) In a series circuit, total conductance is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of its resistances.

Explanation:

In a series circuit, total conductance is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of its resistances, mathematically we can write this as Total Conductance (G_total) = 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn).
