Please help find the equivalent resistance for circuit 10

### Understanding Equivalent Resistance in Complex Circuits

In this section, we will explore how to calculate the equivalent resistance (\(R_{eq}\)) in various complex resistive circuits. Below are detailed diagrams with resistance values in kilo-ohms (kΩ) and their respective equivalent resistors.

#### 1. Series and Parallel Resistors

**Figure: Req8 Calculation**
- **Diagram Description:** 
    - Three 3kΩ resistors are arranged in a combination of series and parallel connections.
    - The calculation involves reducing parallel and series combinations to find \(R_{eq}\).

**Steps to Calculate \(R_{eq8}\):**
1. Combine the parallel resistors:
   \[
   \frac{1}{R_{parallel}} = \frac{1}{3kΩ} + \frac{1}{3kΩ} = \frac{2}{3kΩ} \implies R_{parallel} = \frac{3kΩ}{2} = 1.5kΩ
   \]
2. Add series resistances:
    \[
    R_{eq8} = 1.5kΩ + 3kΩ = 4.5kΩ
    \]

#### 2. Mixed Resistor Networks

**Figure: Req9 Calculation**
- **Diagram Description:** 
    - The circuit consists of a combination of 3kΩ resistors arranged in a complex parallel and series configuration including a triangular section in the middle.
    
**Steps to Calculate \(R_{eq9}\):**
1. Calculate combined resistances at each junction combining parallel and series rules to reduce the network.

#### 3. Complex Series-Parallel Networks

**Figure: Req10 Calculation**
- **Diagram Description:** 
    - The network includes 1kΩ, 2.5kΩ, 3kΩ, and 1kΩ resistors with a triangular arrangement in the middle.
    
**Steps to Calculate \(R_{eq10}\):**
1. Use the parallel and series reductions starting from the innermost connections outwards to simplify the circuit systematically.

#### 4. Nested Resistor Networks

**Figure: Req11 Calculation**
- **Diagram Description:** 
    - This circuit demonstrates a combination of 4kΩ, 6kΩ, 12kΩ, and 2kΩ resistors with several series and parallel sections to simplify.
