Five equal resistances each of resistance 
are connected as shown in the figure. A battery of 
volts is connected between 
and 
. The current flowing in 
will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Equivalent circuit of given circuit is shown in figure (i).
Also this is equivalent to a balanced Wheatstone bridge C and D are at equal
potential level, no current will flow in this resistance therefore this resistance can be neglected.
Thus equivalent resistance of this remaining circuit shown in figure (ii) is 
Then current in AFCEB branch is
