then find the value of x.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
8
(8)
After distribution of current using kirchhoff's loop rule for
Loop a 
or 
Loop b - 
or 
Loop c 
or 
Solving for 
and 
we get
Here 
so, no distribution of current takes place at D so it is a pseudo junction. The equivalent circuit becomes
Resistance of triangle DCE is R parallel to 
Resistance of network other than 
Equivalent resistance between AB
