A$\frac{(n-1) R}{n^2}$
a Suppose resistance of each arm is $r$, then $r = R / n$
$R _{ eq(AB )}=\frac{ R _1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}$
$\frac{ r ( n -1) r }{ r +( n -1) r }$
$=\frac{ r ( n -1) r }{ nr }$
$=\frac{ n -1}{ n } r$
$=\frac{( n -1) R }{ n ^2}$

A battery of $e.m.f.$ $10\, V$ and internal resistance $3\,\Omega $ is connected to a resistor as shown in the figure. If the current in the circuit is $0.5\, A$. then the resistance of the resistor will be ............. $\Omega$
In a meter bridge, the null point is found at a distance of $25\, cm$ from $A$ . If now a resistance of $10\,\Omega $ is connected in parallel with $S$, the null point occurs at mid point of $AB$. The value of $R$ is .............. $\Omega$
We have two wires $A$ and $B$ of same mass and same material. The diameter of the wire $A$ is half of that $B$. If the resistance of wire $A$ is $24\, ohm$ then the resistance of wire $B$ will be ................ $Ohm$
Two metal wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If $\sigma _1$ and $\sigma _2$ are the conductivities of the metal wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is
When a current of $2\,A$ flows in a battery from negative to positive terminal, the potential difference across it is $12\,V$. If a current of $3\,A$ flows in the opposite direction potential difference across the terminals of the battery is $15\,V$, the emf of the battery is ............... $\mathrm{V}$
