Calculation of Resistance by Symmetry -

Calculation of Resistance by Symmetry 

Resistance by Symmetry:

Vertical Plane of symmetry:

1. Points on vertical plane of symmetry have same potential

2. Branches which are mirror image about vertical plane of symmetry have same current

Horizontal plane of symmetry: Points which are mirror image about horizontal plane of symmetry have same potential.

Due to symmetry along plane CA and potential at O and A are same. Therefore the potential difference between O and A is zero. So we can eliminate the resistance between O and A. Now simplifying the circuit the net resistance between A and B equals 2R/3
