You can't use symmetry to fold it as the Electrician has said, but there is a pattern there that allows you to sort of unfold it. See if you can see why circuit A is the same as circuit B and why the currents will be the same if you break the connections as in C, which is much easier to analyse.ok consider the ckt in the attachment...if i label the junctions of the ckt starting from the top left corner as 1,2,3,4 going clockwise...then in this case is the excitation symmetrical?..this ckt surely cannot be folded..but if i rotate the square by 180 degrees then the junctions become 1->3, 2->4, 3->1 & 4->2....under this transformation the ckt remains similar to the original.then can i say this ckt is symmetrical ? is the current distribution shown correct?..if the ckt is symmetrical then current thru the 10 ohm resistors shud be same and current thru 5 ohm resistors shud be same. Is my analysis correct? plz help
