Combination of Resistors

The equivalent resistance between points A and B in the given network is:

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Reduce from the far left: the two 5 Ω5\ \Omega in series =10 Ω= 10\ \Omega, parallel with the 10 Ω10\ \Omega to A gives 5 Ω5\ \Omega.
  2. Next 5 Ω5\ \Omega in series gives 1010, parallel with the next 10 Ω10\ \Omega to A gives 5 Ω5\ \Omega again. The same happens at every step.
  3. Last step: 5+5=10 Ω5 + 5 = 10\ \Omega in parallel with the 10 Ω10\ \Omega from A to B =5 Ω= 5\ \Omega.
  4. So the answer is (c) 5 Ω5\ \Omega.
