Eleven equal wires of each of resistance r from the edges of an incomplete cube. Find the total resistance from one end of vacant edge of the cube to the other.
Dear student,
Let A and B be the two vacant edges of the incomplete cube.Let current 2i enter at the point A and as AC and AG are symmetrical the current gets divided as i1 along AC and AG.At C a part of current i2 flows along CE and remaining current along CD.G is in similar position as C,current i2 flows along GE and remaining along GH.At point E current along CE and GE combine to give current 2i2 along EF.At F current along FD and Fh are equal to i2 .The current along FD and Cd combine to give current i1 along DB.Suppose V is potential difference across A and B.
Applying kirchoff second law to loop ABCD
Applying Kirchoffs law to loop ABEFDB,
From the above two eqn
From eqn 1 and 3
If RAB represents resistance between A and B,then
From eqn 4 and 5
Regards.
