A wire of uniform resistance /m is bent into a circle of radius r and another piece of wire with length 2r is connected between points A and B (AOB) as shown in figure. The equivalent resistance between points A and B is . [figure]

  1. ( + 1)2r
  2. 6 r3 + 16
  3. 3 r8
  4. 2 r

Answer

(2) 6 r3 + 16

Solution

A and B divide the circle into a quarter arc and a three-quarter arc. Three paths join A and B in parallel:

Minor arc (length r2): R1 = r 2

Major arc (length 3 r2): R2 = 3 r 2

Wire AOB (length 2r): R3 = 2r

1Req = 2 r + 23 r + 12r

1Req = 1r ( 83 + 12 ) = 16 + 3 6 r

Req = 6 r3 + 16
