JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity
The ratio of the equivalent resistance of the network (shown in figure) between the points \(a\) and \({b}\) when switch is open and switch is closed is \({x}: 8 .\) The value of \({x}\) is ..... .

- A \(11\)
- B \(9\)
- C \(10\)
- D \(8\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(9\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(R_{e q \text { open }}=\frac{3 R}{2}\) \(R_{e q \text { closed }}=2 \times \frac{R \times 2 R}{3 R}=\frac{4 R}{3}\) \(\frac{{R}_{\text {eq open }}}{{R}_{\text {eq closed }}}=\frac{3 R}{2} \times \frac{3}{4 {R}}=\frac{9}{8}\) \(\therefore \quad {X}=9\)
