Question : 59
Total: 78
Find the equivalent resistance between A and B .
Solution:  
From the figure, 6Ω and 3Ω are in parallel, so,
‌
1
Rp
‌
=‌
1
6
+‌
1
3
=‌
1+2
6
=‌
3
6
=‌
1
2

∴‌‌RP‌=2Ω
Also, 4Ω and 12Ω are in parallel, so
‌
1
RP‌′
‌
=‌
1
4
+‌
1
12
=‌
3+1
12
=‌
4
12
=‌
1
3

∴‌‌RP′‌=3Ω
Now, the given parallel combinations are in series. So we get,
Req=2+3=5Ω
