A wire of resistance 12 ohms per meter is bent to form a complete circle of radius 10 cm. The resistance between its two diametrically opposite points, A and B as shown in the figure is


- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D

The resistance of length 2R is 12. Hence the resistance of length R is 6. Thus two resistances of 6 can be represented as shown in fig.
Equivalent resistance R =
