A wire of resistance 12 ohms per metre is bent to form a complete circle of radius 10 ~cm . The resistance between its two diametrically opposite points, A and B as shown in the figure, is :
Options
- A6
- B0.6
- C3
- D6
Correct answer
B. 0.6
Step-by-step solution
Total resistance of wire =12 2 10⁻¹ =2.4 Resistance of each half = 2.4 2 =1.2 and as about diameter both parts are in parallel Req. = 1.2 2 =0.6
