The wire is divided into two equal semicircles, each with resistance
R. These are in parallel, so the effective resistance is:
1/Reff = 1/R + 1/R
Thus, Reff = R/2.
Answer: (b) R/2.

    1. When the wire of resistance 2
      R is bent into a circle, each semicircular half has resistance
      R. These two halves are in parallel when measured across a diameter. The

      effective resistance is given by:
      1/Reff = 1/R + 1/R

      Reff = R /2

      Thus, the correct answer is (b) R/2.
