Physics - Current Electricity Question with Solution | TestHub

In the given circuit, both $4\Omega$ resistors get shorted out, thus no current will flow from them. Removing the resistors from which no current will flow.

Now, the circuit can be redrawn as shown below.

$R_{eq}=3+(2\parallel 2)+6$

$\Rightarrow R_{eq}=3+\frac{2\times 2}{2+2}+6$

$\Rightarrow R_{eq}=10\Omega$
