Step 1

                                                               Introduction:

Resistor: An electrical component known as a resistor prevents current from flowing. It is one of the most fundamental components used in electronic circuits, and it is used to control the amount of current flowing through a circuit. Resistor values are measured in ohms, and different resistors can be used to create a wide range of different resistances. In addition to controlling the flow of current, resistors are also used to create voltage dividers, as well as create noise and/or signal filters.

Given that:

Resistor(R1)=10ΩR2=20ΩR3=30ΩR4=40ΩR5=50Ω
