Problem P. 5359. (November 2021)

P. 5359. The edges of a cube are built from resistors which has two different resistance values. The resistance of the resistors on 8 edges which are the edges of two opposite faces of the cube is \(\displaystyle r\), and the resistance of the other 8 resistors on the 4 edges perpendicular to the previously described edges is \(\displaystyle R\). Determine the equivalent resistance of the circuit between two adjacent vertices of the cube between which the resistance is \(\displaystyle R\).

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. A szimmetriából következően ekvipotenciális pontok összekötése után ellenállások soros és párhuzamos kapcsolásait kapjuk. Az eredő ellenállás:

\(\displaystyle R_\text{eredő}=\frac{R(R^2+2r^2+4Rr)}{2(2R^2+r^2+3Rr)}.\)
