    The equivalent resistance and potential difference between \[A\] and \[B\] for the circuit is respectively:

    A) \[4\,\,\Omega ,\,\,8\,\,V\]                         

    B) \[8\,\,\Omega ,\,\,4\,\,V\]

    C) \[2\,\,\Omega ,\,\,2\,\,V\]                         

    D) \[16\,\,\Omega ,\,\,8\,\,V\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The equivalent resistance between \[A\] and \[B\] is                 \[\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\] or            \[R=\frac{3}{2}=1.5\Omega \] Now the equivalent resistance between \[A\] and \[B\] as \[R=1.5\Omega \] and \[2.5\Omega \] are connected in series, so                 \[R=1.5+2.5=4\,\,\Omega \] Now by ohms law, potential difference. Between \[A\] and \[B\] is given by                 \[{{V}_{A}}-{{V}_{B}}=iR=2\times 4.0\]                              \[=8\,\,volt\]
