Question

Can anyone solve this numerical Answer is 2ohms

Answer 1

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation:

The challenging part in this circuit is the bridged setup (diamond-shaped arrangement made of the 4 Ohm resistors). In general, this would first need to be transformed using the Wye-Delta transform to be solved, but in this case we can make a valid simplification: since the diamond arrangement is completely symmetrical, the voltage at the top and the bottom tip of the "diamond" will be identical and no current flows through the 4 Ohm bridge, hence, this resistor can be removed without changing the resulting resistance. After this, it is easy to see that the equivalent resistance of the modified "diamond" is just 4 Ohms.

The remaining top parallel branch of the circuit will be 8 Ohms, and the bottom parallel branch is nominally 8 Ohms. The resulting resistance therefore is 4 Ohms.

(The answer is not 2 Ohms!)
