A wire of resistance 8R is bent in the form of a circle. What is the effective resistance between the ends of a diameter AB ?

Answer»

Solution :
TOTAL RESISTANCE of wire bent in the form of a circle = 8R
Resistance of each half ACB or ADB =`(8R)/(2) = 4R`
The two half lengths are connected in PARALLEL across AB
`R_(eff) = (4R xx 4R)/(4R + 4R) = 2R`
