Question

(a) What is the resistance between points A and B? Each resistor has the same resistance R. (Use the following as necessary: R for resistance, I for current, and V for voltage.) [Hint: Redraw the circuit.]

RAB =

(b) What is the resistance between points B and C? (Use the following as necessary: R for resistance, I for current, and V for voltage.)

RBC =

(c) If a 25-V emf is connected to terminals A and B and if each R = 1.8 ?, what is the current in one of the resistors?

Explanation / Answer

a) R/8 as all of them are in parallel b) ZERo as B and C are equipotential surfaces. c) I = V/Req I = 25*8/1.8 I = 111.11 A
