CHAPTER 3 (CURRENT ELECTRICITY QUESTIONS

1. Find net resistance of the network of resistors connected between A and B, as


shown in figure.

Sol:-

And

Since the ratios are equal, the bridge is balanced, so potential difference between O and P is zero
and no current flows through the resistor in the central arm (OP).
Now, in branch MON, two resistor are in series

In branch MPN, two resistor are in series

Since, and are parallel

Now total resistance across AB
