Question:

Six equal resistances each of 4 Ω are connected to form a network as shows in figure. The resistance between A and B would be:

Options:

2 Ω

4 Ω

1/2 Ω

1/4 Ω

Correct Answer:

2 Ω

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 2 Ω

AOBC here form a Wheatstone Bridge and therefore, there will be no current in arm CO.

Now,

$\frac{1}{R_{eff}}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

$R_{eff}=2$
