Find the equivalent resistance a cross $\mathrm{AB}$ (A) $1 \Omega$ (B) $2 \Omega$ (C) $3 \Omega$ (D) $4 \Omega$

Consider the combination of resistors shown in the figure below. An open circuit containing five resistors starts at point a and ends at point b. The circuit extends to the right from point a and splits into two parallel horizontal branches. There is a 12 Ω resistor on the top branch and a 6.0 Ω resistor on the bottom branch. The branches then recombine and the circuit extends to the right to a 5.0 Ω resistor. To the right of the 5.0 Ω resistor, the circuit again splits into two parallel horizontal branches. There is a 4.0 Ω resistor on the top branch and an 8.0 Ω resistor on the bottom branch. The branches then recombine and the circuit extends to the right until it reaches point b. (a) Calculate the equivalent resistance (in Ω) between points a and b. Ω (b) If a voltage of 20.9 V is applied between points a and b, find the current (in A) in each resistor. 12 Ω A 6.0 Ω A 5.0 Ω A 4.0 Ω A 8.0 Ω A
