Detailed Solution
(i) VA =−10 V and VB =−5 V Diodes D1 and D3 are reverse biased and D2 is forward biased. ⇒RAB =R+ R4 + R4 = 3R2(ii) When VA =−5 V and VB =−10 V Diodes D2 is reversed biased and D1 and D3 are forwards biased. ⇒RAB = R4 + R2 + R4 = R (iii) In this case also, Diodes D2 is reversed biased and D1 and D3 are forwards biased. ⇒equivalent resistance between A and B is also R.
