R1 = Ra + Rb + Ra × Rb/Rc, R2 = Rc + Rb + Rc × Rb/Ra, R3 = Ra + Rc + Ra × Rc/Rb
R1 = Ra × Rb/Rc, R2 = Rc × Rb/Ra, R3 = Ra × Rc/Rb
Answer: C
After converting to delta, each delta connected resistance is equal to the sum of the two resistance it is connected to the + product of the two resistances divided by the remaining resistance. Hence
R1 = Ra + Rb + Ra × Rb/Rc
R2 = Rc + Rb + Rc × Rb/Ra
R3 = Ra + Rc + Ra × Rc/Rb.
23. Find the equivalent resistance between X and Y using star-delta transformation.
A. 3.33 ohm
B. 4.34 ohm
C. 5.65 ohm
D. 2.38 ohm
Answer: D
The 3 2ohm resistors are connected in star, changing them to delta, we have
R1 = R2 = R3 = 2 + 2 + 2 × 2/2 = 6 ohm.
The 3 6ohm resistors are connected in parallel to the 10 ohms 5 ohm and 10ohm resistors respectively.
This network can be further reduced to a network consisting of a 3.75ohm and 2.73ohm resistor connected in series whose resultant is intern connected in parallel to the 3.75 − ohm resistor.
24. Delta connection is also known as____________
A. Y − connection
B. Mesh connection
C. Either Y − connection or mesh connection
D. Neither Y − connection nor mesh connection
Answer: B
Delta connection is also known as mesh connection because its structure is like a mesh, that is, a planar closed-loop.
25. Ra is resistance at A, Rb is resistance at B, and Rc is resistance at C in star connection. After transforming to delta, what is the resistance between B and C?
A. Rc + Rb + Rc × Rb/Ra
B. Rc + Rb + Ra × Rb/Rc
C. Ra + Rb + Ra × Rc/Rb
D. Rc + Rb + Rc × Ra/Rb
Answer: A
After converting to the delta, each delta connected resistance is equal to the sum of the two resistances it is connected to the + product of the two resistances divided by the remaining resistance.
Hence, resistance between B and C
= Rc + Rb + Rc × Rb/Ra.

A. Ra + Rb + Ra × Rb/Rc
B. Ra + Rc + Ra × Rc/Rb
C. Ra + Rb + Ra × Rc/Ra
D. Ra + Rc + Ra × Rb/Rc
Answer: B
After converting to the delta, each delta connected resistance is equal to the sum of the two resistances it is connected to the + product of the two resistances divided by the remaining resistance.
Hence, the resistance between A and C
= Ra + Rc + Ra × Rc/Rb.
27. Ra is resistance at A, Rb is resistance at B, and Rc is resistance at C in star connection. After transforming to delta, what is the resistance between A and B?
