Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eq. resistance between C and D :

➝ Rp = 3Ω

Eq. resistance of upper part :

➝ Rs = 9Ω

Eq. resistance of lower part :

➝ Rs' = 6Ω

Eq. resistance between A and B :

➝ Req = 18/5

➝ Req = 3.6Ω

Answer :

First of all see the attachment for better understanding
. :D

Eq. resistance between C and D :

➝ 1/Rp = 1/6 + 1/6

➝ 1/Rp = 2/6

Rp = 3Ω

Eq. resistance of upper part :

(All three are in series)

➝ Rs = 3 + 3 + 3

Rs = 9Ω

Eq. resistance of lower part :

(Both are in series)

➝ Rs' = 3 + 3

Rs' = 6Ω

Eq. resistance between A and B :

(Rs and Rs' are in parallel)

➝ 1/Req = 1/Rs + 1/Rs'

➝ 1/Req = 1/9 + 1/6

➝ 1/Req = (2 + 3)/18

➝ Req = 18/5

Req = 3.6Ω
