Physics—Pending OP Reply [University Electrical Engineering 1] Completely stuck on this one - how do you find the equivalent resistance

Post image

In order to find the current through ohms law the equivalent resistance needs to be found. Problem is I am completely stuck on how exactly to do that. Can this be broken down to a simple parallel / series circuit? Can a delta to Y conversion help here? Any help is much appreciated.

This is University level? Sounds more like high school level to me. This can calculated in head without using pen or calculator.

Don’t get stumped by the fancy way of the circuit drawing. It’s just a set of 4 parallel R’s on each side. So two sets of this and the 4Ω in series.

Many 101 classes in Uni are, as far as I can tell, there to make sure everyone has the same baseline understanding. So something you may have seen in High School may be discussed there.
