Resistances \(n,\) each of \(r~\text{ohm},\)  when connected in parallel give an equivalent resistance of \(R~\text{ohm}.\) If these resistances were connected in series, the combination would have resistance in \(\text{ohms}\) equal to:
1. \(\dfrac{R}{n^2}\)
2. \(\dfrac{R}{n}\)
3. \(nR\)
4. \(n^2R\)
