### Resistor Network Diagram

This diagram demonstrates a complex resistor network between two points, \( A \) and \( B \). The network consists of eight resistors connected in a combination of series and parallel configurations. The goal is often to determine the equivalent resistance, \( R_{AB} \), between points \( A \) and \( B \).

- **Between Points A and the Junction:**
  - There is a \( 12 \, \Omega \) resistor.

- **Parallel Connection:**
  - From the junction after the \( 12 \, \Omega \) resistor, one branch connects through a \( 6 \, \Omega \) resistor.
  - The other branch goes through a \( 3 \, \Omega \) resistor.

- **Intermediate Connection:**
  - The branches from the \( 6 \, \Omega \) and \( 3 \, \Omega \) resistors combine and connect through a \( 2 \, \Omega \) resistor, forming the next junction.

- **Another Parallel Connection:**
  - From this next junction, one branch connects through a \( 3 \, \Omega \) resistor.
  - The other branch goes through a \( 4 \, \Omega \) resistor.

- **Final Series Connection:**
  - After the \( 3 \, \Omega \) and \( 4 \, \Omega \) resistors, these branches combine and connect via a \( 2 \, \Omega \) resistor.
  - This combined path then connects to point \( B \).

### Description of Connections

1. The \( 12 \, \Omega \) resistor connects directly to the initial junction from point \( A \).
2. From this junction:
   - One parallel path connects through the \( 6 \, \Omega \) resistor to a second junction.
   - The other parallel path connects through the \( 3 \, \Omega \) resistor to the same second junction.
3. From the second junction:
   - A series connection through a \( 2 \, \Omega \) resistor leads to a third junction.
4. From the third junction:
   - One parallel path connects via a \( 3 \, \Omega \) resistor to the next junction.
   - The other parallel path connects via a \( 4 \, \Omega \) resistor to the same next junction.
5. From this junction:
