Question:

A network of resistors is connected to a 16 V battery as shown in figure. Compute the equivalent resistance of the network.

Options:

$5 \Omega$

$7 \Omega$

$9 \Omega$

$11 \Omega$

Correct Answer:

$7 \Omega$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $7 \Omega$

$\frac{1}{R_{AB}}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}⇒R_{AB}=2Ω$

$\frac{1}{R_{CD}}=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{6}⇒R_{CD}=4Ω$

$∴R_{eq}=4+2+1=7Ω$
