Question:

In the circuit shown, some potential difference is applied between A & B. The equivalent resistance between A & B is

Options:

14 Ω

12.5 Ω

3.6 Ω

2.1 Ω

Correct Answer:

3.6 Ω

Explanation:

This is a balanced wheat stone bridge. SO there is no potential difference across 5$\Omega$.

9 $\Omega$ and 6 $\Omega$ are in parallel

Equivalent resistance is $\frac{9\times 6}{9+6}$ = 3.6$\Omega$
