Resistors in parallel and series
The Attempt at a Solution
I connected points which had the same potential. I'm not sure where to go from here tho.

A reducing resistor network is a collection of resistors connected in a specific pattern to reduce the amount of voltage or current in a circuit.
A reducing resistor network works by dividing the voltage or current in a circuit into smaller portions. This is achieved by connecting resistors in a series or parallel configuration, which alters the total resistance in the circuit and therefore reduces the voltage or current.
A reducing resistor network is used to control the amount of voltage or current in a circuit. This can be useful in various applications, such as regulating the brightness of a light or controlling the speed of a motor.
There are two main types of reducing resistor networks: series and parallel. In a series configuration, the resistors are connected end-to-end, while in a parallel configuration, the resistors are connected side-by-side. Each type has its own advantages and uses in different circuits.
The values of resistors in a reducing resistor network can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that resistance (R) is equal to voltage (V) divided by current (I). By rearranging the equation, you can calculate the required resistance for a given voltage or current in a circuit.
