Solution

The minimum resistance that can be made using five resistors each of 1/5 Ω can be achieved by connecting all the resistors in parallel.

The formula for total resistance (Rt) for resistors in parallel is given by:

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn

In this case, since all the resistors are the same, the formula becomes:

1/Rt = 5 * (1/(1/5))

Solving this gives:

1/Rt = 5 * 5

1/Rt = 25

Therefore, the total resistance Rt = 1/25 Ω.
