There is an infinite wire grid with cells in the form of equilateral triangles. The resistance of each wire between neighbouring joint connections is R0. The net resistance of the whole grid between the points A and B as shown is |
R0 $\frac{R_0}{2}$ $\frac{R_0}{3}$ $\frac{R_0}{4}$ |
$\frac{R_0}{3}$ |
By principle of symmetry and superposition, $2 \times \frac{I}{6} \times R_0=IR_{\text {eq.}} \Rightarrow R_{\text {eq. }}=\frac{R_0}{3}$ (Current $\frac{I}{6}$ in AB is due to division in current entering at A and current $\frac{I}{6}$ is due to current returning from infinity of grid). |
