(i) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the given electrical network between points A and B. (ii) Also calculate the current through CD and ACB, if a 10 V d.c. source is connected between A and B and the value of R is assumed as 2Omega.

Answer»

Solution :(i) The circuit network can be REDRAWN as shown in Fig. The network is a balanced Wheatstone.sbridge and hence resistance of branch CD does not allow flow of CURRENT and is useless.
` therefore ` Resistance of branch FCE = R+R=2R and resistance of branch FDE = R + R=2R
` therefore` Equivalent resistance between A and B
`R_(eq)= (2R xx 2R)/(2R + 2R)` = R
(ii)If `R = 2OMEGA` then `R_(eq) = 2Omega`
No current FLOWS through CD in balanced CONDITION of bridge.
Current in arm AFCEB=`(V)/(2R) = (10V)/((2 xx 2) Omega) = 2.5A`
