(a)
Find the equivalent resistance between point A and B.
(a)
Answer to Problem 52P
The equivalent resistance between point A and B is
Explanation of Solution
The sum of individual resistance connected in series and reciprocal of resistance connected in parallel will give the equivalent resistance.
From the given circuit, consider left
The resistor
This resistance is in series with
The resistance
The equivalent resistance
This resistance is in series with
Substitute the values of
Conclusion:
Substitute
Therefore, the equivalent resistance between point A and B is
