OK. Understood. Thank you for your explanation!

Understood! Thank you for your explanation!

Homework Statement A circuit is setup with an ideal ammeter connected across the 4.0 ohm. What will the reading of the ammeter be? 2. The attempt at a solution I am not sure whether the question is testing my understanding on how an ammeter should be connected in a circuit or about how to...

OK. Understood. Thanks a lot! :)

OOOHHHH, understood! Thank you!

So the idea is that when a circuit is symmetrical about an axis, the two identical circuits, separated by line of symmetry, are in parallel?

How do I know that the two exactly identical circuits are connected in parallel in the original circuit? Is it linked to the concept of symmetry? Sorry, haha, I am an inquisitive but obtuse high-schooler, who is struggling to survive for physics. :(

Oh, I see. So I just need to calculate accordingly, then. I am pretty sure there are other methods of doing it, like what @NascentOxygen suggested (Just that I do not understand). Thanks for your responses, though!

I will still get 2 unbalanced brigdes (I just read it up), right?

I can do series-parallel reduction, but have not studied Wheatstone's Bridge.

Thank you for your reply! However, sadly, I still do not quite understand the idea of using symmetry to solve complex circuits. Regarding the first part of the explanation (imagine P=+10V and Q=-10V then...), I do not know how to identify the nodes where the potential might be 0V. (I am still a...

May I know a little bit more about that? I always have difficulties whenever I encounter questions that need me to redraw the circuit. I have been stuck in this question for 1 day and I still do not get it. @.@

Given that the resistance of each resistor is 1.0 ohm, find the effective resistance between P and Q. I do not know how to simplify the circuit. A little help on how to redraw the circuit such that the Reff can be calculated is appreciated.
