What will be the equivalent resistance between the terminals A and B of the infinite resistive network shown in the figure?

  1. A \(\frac{(\sqrt{3}+1) \mathrm{R}}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{(\sqrt{3}-1) R}{2}\)
  3. C \(3 \frac{R}{2}\)
  4. D \((\sqrt{3}+1) \mathrm{R}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((\sqrt{3}+1) \mathrm{R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(x=2 R+\frac{R x}{R+x}\) \(x^{2}-2 R x-2 R^{2}=0\) \(x=(1+\sqrt{3}) R\)
