Consider a hexagon made up of identical
resistors as shown in figure. In each of the
following cases, find the equivalent
resistance between the given points
15. Points A, C, E are connected to each other
by a conducting wire. Points B, D, F are
connected to each other by another
conducting wire. Find resistance across
points A and B.
16. Opposite vertices are connected by
conducting wires. The wires do not touch
each other. Find resistance between the
central point and a vertex.
17. Vertices Fand C are connected by a
conducting wire. Vertices D and A are
connected by another conducting wire.
Find resistance between F and D.
