Solution:
Points A and C are joined together. Similarly points B and D are joined
together. Thus, we can first bring point A and C together and the circuit will
look like as has been shown in Fig. 2.17.
Figure 2.17
The circuit is further simplified by paralleling the two 4 Ω resistances
between A and B and another two 4 Ω resistances between A and D. Now by
bringing D and B together and paralleling the two 2 Ω resistors, the current I
is calculate as 6 A.
Example 2.5 Calculate the resistance between the terminals P and Q of the
network shown in Fig. 2.18.
