AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a question about calculating effective resistance between points P and Q in a circuit. The original poster struggled with the problem and sought guidance on resistor arrangements. A participant pointed out that the circuit resembles a balanced Wheatstone bridge, allowing the removal of one resistor for simplification. The effective resistance was calculated as 1 ohm by combining two 2-ohm resistors in parallel. The original poster expressed gratitude for the assistance received.

I am facing problem with a question regarding effective resistance.I have spend many hours on this question but still can't find the answer.I have my question and my solution in the attachment follows.


Finally,I need more guidance regarding the arrangement of resistors in many ways as I am very weak at this part.Thanks for anybody that spend sometime on my question.

U DID ARRANGE CORRECTLY BUT IT SEEMS U FORGOT U HAVE TO CALCULATE RESISTANCE BETWEEN POINTS P AND Q(see the attachment)

correction

to calculate eff R b/w P n Q
u can see its balanced wheat stone bridge so u can remove one 1 ohm resistor in b/w
finally u have two 2 ohm resistor in paralle

so eff R= 2||2=1

Thanks for your help.i really glad that you have help me so much
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
