(a) Calculate the equivalent resistance (in terms of the R, resistance of each individual resistor) between points a and b for the infinite ladder of resistors shown below assuming the resistors are identical. That is, assuming R= R1=R2. (b) Repeat Part (a) but do not assume that R1=R2 and express your answer in terms of and (c) Check your results by showing that your result from Part (b) agrees with your result from Part (a) if you substitute R for both R1 and R2.
