Current Electricity · Current and resistance

Two known resistances of R Ω\Omega and 2R Ω\Omega and one unknown resistance X Ω\Omega are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure. If the equivalent resistance between points A and B in the circuit is X Ω\Omega, then the value of X is Ω\Omega.
  1. (1)(3−1)R\left(\sqrt3 - 1\right)R
  2. (2)RR
  3. (3)2(3−1)R2\left(\sqrt3 - 1\right)R
  4. (4)(3+1)R\left(\sqrt3 + 1\right)R
We corrected a printing error in the original paper

Source printed “Two known resistance”; “and and”.
