Explanation / Answer

1. when there are 4 resistors in series if open resistance then total resistance decreases.

before open the resistance

Rt=r1+r2+r3+r4

after open the resistance

Rt=r1+r2+r3

then total resistance decreases

2. In 4 resistors in parallel if one of them is opend then total resistance is increases.

option A is correct

3. when the current drawn from an ideal voltage source inreases,the voltage of the ideal source decreases.

option B is correct.

4.power dissipation for reduced to half value of resistance then power disspation will also decreases.

power is directly proportional to the resistance.

5. total power dissipation in series parallel circuits is equal to the sum of all the individual component power is in any resistive circuit

option A is correct.
