1. Homework Statement
This problem involves a sketch of a system of resistors, so I will do my best.
A--xx1xx---|---xx1xx--B
.\..............|............./
...x............x...........x
....x...........x..........x
......3.........1........5
........x.......x.......x
..........x.....x.....x
............\...|.../
..............\.|./
................\/
The numbers between the x's represent the resistors and their vaules.
The question asks to find the equivalent resistance R[ab].
2. Homework Equations
I am aware of the series/parallel relation ships between resistors, but this question seems ambiguous.
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2
Req = R1 + R2
3. The Attempt at a Solution
The question states that the solution should be 27/17, but anyway I work this problem I dno't seem to get this answer, although I have gotten very close.
Any help?
