Question
### Circuit Diagram Description

The circuit diagram shows a complex electrical circuit consisting of several resistors and a voltage source:

- **Voltage Source (V1):** A 12V power supply.
- **Resistors:**
  - **R1:** 1 kΩ
  - **R2:** 6 kΩ
  - **R3:** 3 kΩ
  - **R4:** 1 kΩ
  - **R5:** 1 kΩ
  - **R6:** 1 kΩ

The circuit begins with the voltage source V1 connected in series with resistor R1. Following R1, the circuit branches into two parallel paths. 

On the upper path:
- Resistor R5 (1 kΩ) is in series.

On the lower path:
- A combination of resistors R2 (6 kΩ) and R3 (3 kΩ) are in series.

Both parallel branches converge at the junction connected to R6 (1 kΩ), which finally leads to resistor R4 (1 kΩ) and then closes the loop back to the negative terminal of the voltage source V1.

### Questions

- **What is the effect of replacing R2 with a wire?**
  - Options to select from.

- **Find the equivalent resistance if R6 is replaced with a wire.**
  - Options to select from.

These questions prompt users to analyze the circuit changes when specific resistors are replaced with a wire, effectively becoming a short circuit.
