Symmetry in electric circuits is crucial for simplifying analysis and understanding current distribution. Key criteria for identifying symmetry include the arrangement of components and the uniformity of circuit elements. Recognizing symmetrical patterns allows for the application of techniques like star-delta transformations to simplify complex circuits. The discussion highlights the importance of knowing when to apply symmetry to optimize circuit analysis. Further resources, such as specific PDFs, can aid in grasping these concepts more thoroughly.

Okay guys
So I was studying up some electric current and doing electric current problems
I am clear with kirchhoffs rules
And with series-parallel resistor combinations
But I am not quite clear with the symmetric distribution of current
Or symmetry in circuits, in particular
Could you guys explain the concept of symmetry to me?
Like what are the criteria to be kept in mind while looking for symmetry and when to and when not to use symmetry in electric circuits!
Help is much appreciated! !:)

Thanks for the link!:)UchihaClan13
 
Could you tell me a bit more about star delta transformations and nodes in circuits??
I need to study up more of this!:)

I cannot, but I've moved the thread to the Electrical Engineering forum so hopefully someone here can.
 
Okay thank you!
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
