The resistance of each resistor connected in the circuit is of 1Ω.
The equivalent resistance of the circuit = R ′
∴ R ′ = 1 + R ′ + 1 R ′ + 1
⟹ R ′ 2 − 2 R ′ − 2 = 0
⟹ R ′ = 2 2 ± 4 + 8
⟹ R ′ = 2 2 ± 1 2
⟹ R ′ = 1 ± 3
The negative value of resistance cannot be accepted. Hence R ′ = 1 + 3
∴ R ′ = 1 + 3
R ′ = 1 + 1 . 7 3 2 0 5 = 2 . 7 3 2 0 5 Ω
∴ The Equivalent resistance of the infinite network is 2 . 7 3 2 0 5 Ω
