Question

Find the resistance between points A and B in the circuit diagram given below:

Answer 1

R₂, R₃ and R₄ are in series and have resultant resistance R’ = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6Ω

R’ is in parallel combination with R₁.

∴ Resultant resistance of the circuit (R)

\(\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\)

\(\frac{1}{6}\) + \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Resistance R = \(\frac{6}{2}\) = 3Ω
