Circuit resistance equivalence

AI Thread Summary
To find the equivalent resistance between terminals A and B in the given circuit, it's essential to identify opportunities to combine parallel resistances. One resistor is shorted out, simplifying the circuit further. Understanding the definitions of series and parallel circuits is crucial for solving the problem. A hint suggests starting by recognizing these combinations to facilitate the calculation. Engaging with the basic theory and examples from the course material may also provide clarity.

You were give a question to solve without being presented with the basic theory and examples in your course or text?

Hint: There are several opportunities to combine parallel resistances. There's also a resistor that's completely shorted out. Look for them and make a start.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
