What is the Resistance Between Two Points in an Infinite Grid?

The equivalent resistance for the circuit will depend on the number of resistors and their individual resistances. In summary, the resistance between points A and B is proportional to the length and depends on the number of resistors and their individual resistances.

Homework Statement



What is the resistance between A i B if resistance is proportional to length, and the resistance of a side of the largest square is R?

Homework Equations



This is nothing more than a bunch of serial (parallel) resistors.

The Attempt at a Solution



n=1 => R=1
n=2 => R=sqrt(2)/2
n=3 => R=2/3

but i can't find it for general N

If I understand your problem correctly, the answer is zero resistance, seeing as the more resistors which are added in parallel in a circuit, the lower the resistance. If there are an infinite number, than there is an equivalent resistance of zero.

The resistance is definitely greater than zero.
