NEET Physics Question (2025) — Solution

Question

A wire of resistance R is cut into 8 equal pieces. From these pieces two equivalent resistances are made by adding four of these together in parallel. Then these two sets are added in series. The net effective resistance of the combination is :

Options

  1. A. R 64
  2. B. R 32
  3. C. R 16
  4. D. R 8

Answer

C. R 16

Step-by-step solution

aligned & Resistance of each part = R / 8 \\ & R _ eq = 1 4 ( R / 8)+ 1 4 ( R / 8)= R 16 aligned
