Question

What is the equivalent resistance between the points A and B of the network? 

 

• A. \( \frac{57}{7} \, \Omega \)
• B. 8 \( \Omega \)
• C. 6 \( \Omega \)
• D. \( \frac{57}{5} \, \Omega \)

Hint:

For resistances in series, add them directly; for resistances in parallel, use the formula \( \frac{1}{R_{{eq}}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve for the equivalent resistance between points A and B, we first simplify the given resistances using series and parallel combinations. 
Start by analyzing the network step by step: 1. Combine the resistances that are in series. 2. Combine the resistances that are in parallel. Once simplified, the equivalent resistance turns out to be 8 \( \Omega \). 
Final Answer: 8 \( \Omega \).
