Total Resistance: Calculate 8Ω Circuit, Don't Get It?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the total resistance of a circuit with lightbulbs, each having a resistance of 12Ω. The expected total resistance is 8Ω, but the original poster is confused about how this value is derived. Forum members emphasize the importance of sharing personal calculations to clarify the misunderstanding. They encourage the poster to use a specific template to demonstrate their thought process. The community asserts that the answer of 8Ω is indeed correct, urging further engagement to resolve the confusion.

If all the lightbulb in pic have resistance of 12 \Omega, What is the total circuit's total resistance? And the answer supposed to be 8 but I don't get it how it got 8?
Please let me know

Your picture is practically illegible, but more importantly, you need to show your attempt to figure it out yourself. Preferably using the provided template.
 
The answer's absolutely correct.
show us what u have done and what answer you get!

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
