Problem

A regular octahedron is made by joining 12 equal conductors, each of resistance R. If a current enters into it from one vertex and comes out of the diagonally opposite vertex, show that the effective resistance of the network is R/2R/2. ![](_page_306_Figure_11.jpeg) Figure 4.4 A regular octahedron made of 12 equal length conductors.
