Equivalent resistance between two points on a circuit

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the equivalent resistance between two points in a symmetric circuit. Participants explore using symmetry to simplify the circuit, particularly by splitting nodes and converting star configurations to delta. It is noted that points B and D can be considered equipotential due to the circuit's symmetry, which aids in calculating equivalent resistance. Various methods are proposed, including splitting nodes and applying symmetry arguments, leading to different equivalent resistance values. Ultimately, the group confirms their calculations and shares insights on handling similar problems.

@TSny ,

I came across a similar problem (hope I am not wrong :smile: ). Please see the attached picture . I do not have the answer key . Could you please confirm whether you get 22/35 Ω as the answer .

Thank you
