below

Answer
Problem 3
Find the equivalent resistance between terminals x and y for the circuit shown
below. All resistors values are in Ohms.

Answer
For R=100 Ω, Rxy = 100Ω

Problem 4
Find the equivalent resistance between terminals a and b for the circuit shown
below. All resistors values are 9 Ohms

Will be solved in class

Problem 5
Find the equivalent resistance between terminals a and b for the circuit shown
below for R=70 Ohms
Answer
Step 1: (60//40)+50+100+120= 294 Ω
Step 2: 125+75= 200 Ω
Step 3: (200//294) = 119 Ω
Step 4: 119+70 = 189 Ω

Problem 6
Find the equivalent resistance between terminals a and b for the circuit shown
below for R= 1 KOhm.
Problem 7
Find the equivalent resistance between terminals a and b for the circuit shown
below for R= 30 Ohms

Answer
Step 1 (12//24)+22 = 30 Ω
Step 2: 30//45= 18 Ω
Step 3: (48//16)+18 = 30 Ω
Step 4: 30//R = 15 Ω
