Question

In the circuit shown here, what is the value of the unknown resistor R so that the total resistance of the circuit between points P and Q is also equal to R

  1. 3 ohms    
  2. square root of 39 o h m s    
  3. square root of 69 o h m s    
  4. 10 ohms    

The correct answer is: square root of 69 o h m s


    The given circuit can be simplified as follows

    R equals 3 plus fraction numerator 10 cross times left parenthesis 3 plus R right parenthesis over denominator 10 plus 3 plus R end fraction equals 3 plus fraction numerator 30 plus 10 R over denominator 13 plus R end fraction
    R equals fraction numerator 39 plus 3 R plus 30 plus 10 R over denominator 13 plus R end fraction equals fraction numerator 69 plus 13 R over denominator 13 plus R end fraction
    13 R plus R to the power of 2 end exponent equals 69 plus 13 R Þ R equals square root of 69 capital omega.
