This is a very old problem and I believe the answer is, the equivalent resistance is 1 Ohm.
Yes, all resistances of each branch is 1 ohm as shown in my picture. The question is the eqivarent registane of one branch of the regular polyhedrons such as regular tetrahedron=1/2 as shown in my question.
Hi,
You could do the analysis, in the more general case considering the following equivalent network:
to simplify, you could use the star-triangle transformation and see if it is possible to determine the equivalent impedance.
(Sorry, I'm referring to your previous 3D network question with the voltage generator.)
Thanks. Your case is a diagonal resistance of regular polyhedron surface.
Regular hexahedron shows 3/4 ohm. I am using current generator of 1 A.
So V=IR =R shows the resistance itself.
My another puzzle Solve diagonal resistance of resistor 3D mesh
can solve by your answer and also ValeryOchkov posted.
