The circuit shown has resistor of equal resistance R. Find the equivalent resistance between A and B, when the key is closed.

A

`(11R)/(12)`

B

`(13R)/(12)`

C

`(R )/(5)`

D

`(15R)/(12)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

C

A cereful observation will reveal that one end of each resistor is
connected to A and the other end of each resistor is connected
to B. Hence, the resistor are in parallel. So `R_(eq) = R//5`
