Question 426: Current Electricity

Question

In the given circuit, the equivalent resistance between the terminal A and B is __________ $$\Omega$$.

Accepted Answer

Both $4 \Omega$ resistance and left $2 \Omega$ resistance get short-circuited. So, no current will flow through them.
Remove the resistors that have no current. Now the equivalent circuit becomes -
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=3+(2 \| 2)+6 \\
& \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=3+1+6 \\
& \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=10 \Omega
\end{aligned}
$$
