Four wires of equal length and of resistances 10 ohms each are connected in the form of a square. The equivalent resistance between two opposite corners of the square is

A

10 ohmohm

B

40ohmohm

C

20ohmohm

D

10/4ohmohm

Answer

10 ohmohm

Explanation

Solution

According to the problem, we arrange four resistance as follows

Equivalent resistance =20×2040=10Ω= \frac{20 \times 20}{40} = 10\Omega
