A wire of resistance0.5 Ω m-1is bent into a circle of radius1 m. The same wire is connected across a diameterABas shown in the figure. The equivalent resistance is

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Rl=0.5 Ω m-1,r=1 m

Length of semicircle=πr

Hence the resistance of semicircle

R=0.5×πr

R=12×π×1

R=π2 Ω

Resistance of diameter

R=0.5×2r

R=0.5×2×1

R=1



1Req=1R1+1R2+1R3

1Req=2π+11+2π

1Req=4π+1

Req=ππ+4
