Question

 Consider following circuit with R = 60 Ω. Calculate the equivalent resistance of the terminal a and b?  

The diagram illustrates a network of resistors configured in a bridge circuit. The circuit contains the following components:

1. Resistors: The arrangement includes four resistors, each with a resistance labeled as "R". These resistors are placed at different positions in the circuit.

2. Circuit Layout:
   - The circuit starts at point "a" and ends at point "b".
   - There are two resistors at the top part of the circuit in parallel positions.
   - Another resistor is placed in the middle, bridging the two parallel resistors.
   - At the bottom, there is a single resistor connecting points "a" and "b".

The layout is symmetric, forming a bridge-like structure, which is commonly used in electrical circuits to measure unknown resistances and for various applications in electronics.
