Question

13. Find the equivalent resistance between the terminals
A and B of the network of resistor shown in figure.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve middle 3 resistors of 3 ohms. They are in parallel so 1/Req1= 1/3+1/3+1/3= 3/3 =1

Now solve 2 pairs of 2 ohms. They are also in parallel so 1/Req2 = 1/2+1/2 = 2/2 =1

Similarly, other pair Req3 = 1/2+1/2= 1

Now all the resistors are in series

1 + Req1 + Req2 + Req3 + 1

= 1+1+1+1+1

= 5 ohms

Equivalent resistance will be 5 ohms
