  • question_answer
    The equivalent resistance between points A and B of an infinite network of resistances each of \[1\,\Omega \] connected as shown, is                                     [Haryana CEE 1996]

    A)                                                      Infinite

    B)                                      \[2\,\Omega \]

    C)                    \[\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\Omega \]

    D)            Zero

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                         Similar to Q. No. 30. By formula \[R={{R}_{1}}+\frac{{{R}_{2}}\times R}{{{R}_{2}}+R}\] \ \[R=1+\frac{1\times R}{1+R}\] Þ \[{{R}^{2}}+R=1+R+R\] Þ \[{{R}^{2}}-R-1=0\] or \[R=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{1+4}}{2}\] \[=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{5}}{2}\] Since R cannot be negative, hence \[R=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\Omega \]
