Problem

Consider an infinite grid made of identical wires of resistance 1 Ω. The equivalent resistance between two adjacent points A and B is RABR_{AB}. If the wire connecting A and B (marked with x) is cut, RABR_{AB}: [Figure: Shows an infinite grid with points A and B and wire marked with x] a) will increase. b) will decrease. c) will not change. d) will become zero. e) will become infinity. f) can not be determined.
