  1. Question 1

    Q1. A wire of resistance 4 ohm is bent to form a circle. The resistance between two diametrically opposite points is?

    • A) 1 ohm
    • B) 2 ohm
    • C) 4 ohm
    • D) 8 ohm

    Answer: 1 ohm

    Explanation: The wire is divided into two equal parts, each with resistance 2 ohm. These two are in parallel, so R = (2*2)/(2+2) = 1 ohm.
