The effective resistance between ( P ) and ( Q ) for the following network is
Options
- A( 1 12 )
- B( 21 )
- C( 12 )
- D( 1 21 )
Correct answer
C. ( 12 )
Step-by-step solution
The two ( 3 ) resistance are in series, therefore their equivalent resistance ( =6 ) Thus, the network reduces to the circuit as follows: Now, the two ( 6 ) resistance are in parallel, therefore their equivalent resistance ( =3 ) Thus, the network reduces to the circuit as follows: Now, all the resistance are in series therefore their equivalent resistance ( =12 ) Therefore, effective resistance between ( P ) and ( Q ) is ( 12 ).
