Q80 / 90 · KVPY 2012 (SB/SX) · Physics

As shown in the figure below, a cube is formed with ten identical resistance $\mathrm{R}$ (thick lines) and two shorteing wires (dotted lines) along the arms AC and BD. Figure
Resistance between point $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ is-

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{R} / 2$
  • B
    $5 \mathrm{R} / 6$
  • C
    $3 \mathrm{R} / 4$
  • D
    $\mathrm{R}$

Solution

The given circuit can be simplified into two wheatstone bridge in parallel

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
