AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the use of wye-delta transformation to find specific resistances (Rae, Rbf, Rah, Rcg, Rbc) in a circuit. The original poster notes the absence of parallel connections among the resistors, prompting the question of whether the transformation is applicable. Responses suggest that Δ-Y transformations could be useful for Rah and Rbc, while other resistances may be simplified using standard series and parallel reductions. Additionally, applying a voltage source and using KCL or KVL for analysis is recommended to calculate the resistances. The conversation emphasizes problem-solving techniques in circuit analysis.

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.
