The discussion centers on the application of wye-delta (Δ-Y) transformation in circuit analysis to find resistances Rae, Rbf, Rah, Rcg, and Rbc. It is established that the Δ-Y transformation can be applied specifically to Rah and Rbc, while the other resistances can be simplified using standard series and parallel reduction techniques. Additionally, the use of Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) is recommended for further analysis, followed by applying Ohm's Law to determine resistance values.

Find Rae, Rbf, Rah, Rcg & Rbc.
Homework Equations
Am I going to use wye-delta transformation?
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried checking if I could use wye-delta transformation. There seems to be no parallel connections between the resistors. Please do help. Thank you
Hi anning, Welcome to Physics Forums.
You might use Δ-Y transformations for Rah [STRIKE]and Rbc[/STRIKE] (the others can be reduced via the usual serial/parallel reductions). You could also first reduce what you can and then stick a voltage source across the terminals in question and solve for the current using KCL, KVL, or other analysis methods. Then Ohm's Law yields R = V/I.
