Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 698

Question: In the network shown below, the ring has zero resistance. The equivalent resistance between the point A and B is

Options:

A) 2R

B) 4R

C) 7R

D) 10R

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] As the ring has no resistance, the three resistances of 3R each are in parallel.
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{R’}=\frac{1}{3R}+\frac{1}{3R}+\frac{1}{3R}+=\frac{1}{R}\Rightarrow R’=R $
$ \

Therefore $ Between point A and B equivalent resistance $ =R+R=2R. $
