Combination of Resistors

A wire of resistance 9 Ω9\ \Omega is bent to form an equilateral triangle. Then the equivalent resistance across any two vertices will be _________ ohm.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 2

  1. Each side has 93=3 Ω\dfrac{9}{3} = 3\ \Omega.
  2. Between two vertices: 3 Ω3\ \Omega in parallel with 6 Ω6\ \Omega.
  3. Req=3×69=2 ΩR_{eq} = \dfrac{3 \times 6}{9} = 2\ \Omega
