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
