Help with Resistors Forming a Cube

The problem is "Twelve resistors, each of resistance 1 Ohm form a cube. Find the equivalent resistance of an edge, face diagonal, and body diagonal."

However, I've been successful in finding the resistance of an edge and body diagonal but haven't been able to figure out how to find the face diagonal.

The method of finding a body diagonal in this post:

is very helpful, but I haven't been able to sucessfully apply this method to finding the face diagonal. The answer is 3/4 but any help on how to calculate this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Fizzy

Re: Help with Resistors Forming a Cube

Have you tried the brute-force method that M@Man discusses?


Chemists are physicists who don't do math. smile
