Question
a) Find the equivalent resistance \(R_{\mathrm{ab}}\) in the circuit in Fig. P3.58 by using a \(\text { Y-to- } \Delta\) transformation involving resistors \(R_{2}, R_{3}, \text { and } R_{5}\).
b) Repeat (a) using a \(\Delta \text {-to-Y }\) transformation involving resistors \(R_{3}, R_{4}, \text { and } R_{5}\).
c) Give two additional \(\Delta \text {-to-Y }\) or \(\text { Y-to- } \Delta\) transformations that could be used to find \(R_{\mathrm{ab}}\).
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number 58 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: a) Find the equivalent resistance \(R_{\mathrm{ab}}\) in the circuit in Fig. P3.58 by using a \(\text { Y-to- } \Delta\) transformation involving resistors \(R_{2}, R_{3}, \text { and } R_{5}\). b) Repeat (a) using a \(\Delta \text {-to-Y }\) transformation involving resistors \(R_{3}, R_{4}, \text { and } R_{5}\). c) Give two additional \(\Delta \text {-to-Y }\) or \(\text { Y-to- } \Delta\) transformations that could be used to find \(R_{\mathrm{ab}}\).
From the textbook chapter Simple Resistive Circuits you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
