(b) $4 R$

(c) $\frac{R}{8}$

(d) $\frac{R}{2}$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 29. (a)

Solution:

$ R _{AB}=\frac{1.2 \pi}{2}=0.6 \pi \Omega $

$R / 2$

$ R _{eq}=\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}=\frac{(\frac{R}{2} \cdot \frac{R}{2})}{\frac{R}{2}+\frac{R}{2}} \quad \therefore R _{eq}=\frac{R}{4} $

If a wire of resistance $R$ is bent in the form of circle, the effective resistance between the ends of diameter is $R / 4$
