Question

The resistance between points A and C in the given network is 

• A. \( \frac{R}{4} \)
• B. \( \frac{R}{2} \)
• C. \( 2R \)
• D. \( R \)

Hint:

For symmetric resistor networks, often the resistances between certain points remain unchanged due to the symmetry of the circuit.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The given network contains resistors connected in series and parallel. From the diagram, we can see that resistors are arranged in such a way that the final equivalent resistance between points A and C is simply the resistance \( R \). Since the network is symmetric, the equivalent resistance between points A and C remains \( R \).
