Question

• Assertion (A): The equivalent resistance between points A and B in the given networks is 2R.
• Reason (R): All the resistors are connected in parallel.

 

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

• Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.

Answer 1

Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

Explanation:

The resistors in the following circuit are linked in both series and parallel configurations. We must simplify the circuit using the necessary criteria in order to determine the equivalent resistance between points A and B. We may reduce the circuit to a single equivalent resistor between locations A and B by applying the series and parallel rules to the resistors. The resulting equivalent resistance is:

R_eq = 2R

Therefore, the assertion (A) is correct, and the reason (R) is incorrect as well. All the resistors are not connected in parallel.
