Question

Five resistances have been connected as shown in figure, the effective resistance between A and B is ?​

Answer 1

Using wheatstone bridge,

Resistor with 7ohm resistance is removed. So 3 and 4 ohm are in series. Then 8 and 8 ohm are in series. Total is in parallel.

Rs1 = 3+4 = 7ohm

Rs2 = 8+8 = 16ohm

Total effective resistance is (1/7 + 1/16)^-1

Answer 2

Answer:14/3

Explanation:R1+R2=3+4=7

R3+R4=8+6=14

Total resistance =1/7+1/14=14/3
