SUMMARY
The equivalent resistance between points A and B in a cube of resistors, each with resistance value "R", can be determined using symmetry principles. The discussion confirms that the book's approach, which involves connecting points D and E, as well as C and F, due to equal potentials, is indeed correct. This method simplifies the circuit by recognizing the symmetry plane through points ABGH, allowing for accurate calculations of equivalent resistance.
