Four resistors, each of resistance R, are connected as shown in the figure below.

Which of the following options is correct?

  1. A The total resistance between points 3 and 6 is 2 R.
  2. B The total resistance between points 2 and 4 is \(0.5 \mathrm{~R}\).
  3. C The total resistance between points 1 and 3 is 0.5 R.
  4. D The total resistance between points 1 and 6 is \(3.5 \mathrm{R}\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) The total resistance between points 2 and 4 is \(0.5 \mathrm{~R}\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Points 2 and 3 are connected by a wire \(\Rightarrow\) same node (A). Points 4 and 5 are connected by a wire \(\Rightarrow\) same node (B). The middle resistor (2 to 5) and bottom resistor (3 to 4) are both connected between node A and node B \(\Rightarrow\) they are in…
