    In the given circuit, what will be the equivalent resistance between the points A and B?

    A) 10/3\[\Omega \]  

    B)                        20/3\[\Omega \]             

    C)        10/5\[\Omega \]             

    D)        5\[\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\because \]     \[\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{6}\] \[\therefore \] Given, circuit is a balanced Wheatstones Bridge. So, 10 Q, resistance will be ineffective. Equivalent resistance of upper arms \[{{R}_{1}}=2+3=5\,\Omega \] \[\therefore \] Equivalent resistance of lower arms \[{{R}_{2}}=4+6=10\,\Omega \] \[{{R}_{AB}}=\frac{{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}}\]         \[=\frac{5\times 10}{5+10}\]        \[=\frac{50}{10}=\frac{10}{3}\Omega \]
