Q: A wire of resistor $R$ is bent into a circular ring of radius $r$. Equivalent resistance between two points $X$ and $Y$ on its circumference, when angle $XOY$ is $\alpha$, can be given by

a (a) Here ${R_{XWY}} = \frac{R}{{2\pi r}} \times (r\alpha ) = \frac{{R\alpha }}{{2\pi }}$ and ${R_{XZY}} = \frac{R}{{2\pi r}} \times r(2\pi - \alpha ) = \frac{R}{{2\pi }}(2\pi - \alpha )$ ${R_{eq}} = \frac{{{R_{XWY}}{R_{XZY}}}}{{{R_{XWY}} + {R_{XZY}}}} = \frac{{\frac{{R\alpha }}{{2\pi }} \times \frac{R}{{2\pi }}(2\pi - \alpha )}}{{\frac{{R\alpha }}{{2\pi }} + \frac{{R(2\pi - \alpha )}}{{2\pi }}}}$$ = \frac{{R\alpha }}{{4{\pi ^2}}}(2\pi - \alpha )$
