Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 337

Question: A piece of wire of resistance 4 ohms is bent through $ 180{}^\circ $ at its mid-point and the two halves are twisted together, then the resistance is

[CPMT 1971]

Options:

A) 8 ohms

B) 1 ohm

C) 2 ohms

D) 5 ohms

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

In twisted wire, two halves each of resistance $ 2\Omega $ are in parallel, so equivalent resistance will be $ \frac{2}{2}=1\Omega $ .
