B$0.973$
b (b) Resistance of $CD$ $arm$ = $2r \cos 72^o = 0.62r$
Resistance of $CBFC$ branch
$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{{2r}} + \frac{1}{{0.62r}} = \frac{1}{r}\left( {\frac{{2.62}}{{2 \times 0.62}}} \right)$
$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{{2.62}}{{1.24r}}$
$R = \frac{{1.24r}}{{2.62}}$
Equivalent $R' = 2R + r = 2 \times \frac{{1.24r}}{{2.62}} + r$
$ = r\,\left( {\frac{{2.48}}{{2.62}} + 1} \right) = 1.946r$
Because the star circuit is symmetrical about the line $AH$
Equivalent resistance between $A$ and $H$
$\frac{1}{{{R_{eq}}}} = \frac{1}{{R'}} + \frac{1}{{R'}}$ $==>$ ${R_{eq}} = \frac{{R'}}{2} = \frac{{1.946}}{2}r = 0.973r$

Figure shows a part of an electric circuit. The potentials at points $a , b$ and $c$ are $30\,V , 12\,V$ and $2\,V$ respectively. The current through the $20 \Omega$ resistor will be $........\,A$
A galvanometer of resistance, $G,$ is connected in a circuit. Now a resistance $R$ is connected in series of galvanometer. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged, the resistance to be put in parallel with the series combination of $G$ and $R$ is
A current of $2\,A$ flows through a $2\,\Omega$ resistor when connected across a battery. The same battery supplies a current of $0.5\,\, A$ when connected across a $9 \,\,\Omega$ resistor. The internal resistance of the battery is
When current supplied by a cell to a circuit is $0.3 \,A$, its terminal potential difference is $0.9 \,V$. When the current supplied becomes $0.25 \,A$, its terminal potential difference becomes $1.0 \,V$. The internal resistance of the cell is ............ $\Omega$
