Find the equivalent resistance between A and B
Electricity and Magnetism (10)(i) Find the equivalent resistance between A and B.

ii. State whether the resistivity of a wire changes with the change in the thickness of the wire.
Answer
(i) R1 = (6×3)/(6+3) = 2 Ω
Or R2 = (4×12)/(4+12) = 3 Ω
R = 2 + 3 = 5 Ω
(ii) No, it does not change.
