Find the resistance in kΩ between nodes A and D (RAD) in the following circuit. 

Given:

R1 = 3.2 kΩ
R2 = 3.4 kΩ
R3 = 2.6 kΩ
R4 = 1.9 kΩ
R5 = 3.9 kΩ
R6 = 4.9 kΩ
R7 = 3.5 kΩ
R8 = 4.6 kΩ 


To find the equivalent resistance between nodes \(A\) and \(D\) (\(R_{AD}\)) in the given circuit, we need to simplify the resistors step by step, combining them in series and parallel where appropriate.

### Steps:
1. **Identify combinations**: The circuit consists of resistors connected in a combination of series and parallel configurations.
   
   - Resistors \(R1\) and \(R8\) form a series combination.
   - Resistors \(R3\) and \(R4\) form a series combination.
   - The central part of the circuit involves \(R2\), \(R6\), \(R7\), and \(R5\), which form more complex combinations.

### Calculation Process:
1. **Series combination of resistors**: When two resistors are in series, their equivalent resistance is the sum of their resistances:
   \[
   R_{\text{eq(series)}} = R_1 + R_2
   \]

2. **Parallel combination of resistors**: When two resistors are in parallel, their equivalent resistance is given by:
   \[
   \frac{1}{R_{\text{eq(parallel)}}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}
   \]

#### Now, I'll simplify the circuit using these rules.

Let me first calculate the equivalent resistances and then determine the total resistance between \(A\) and \(D\). I'll proceed with this.The equivalent resistance between nodes \(A\) and \(D\) (\(R_{AD}\)) in the given circuit is approximately \(5.33 \, \text{kΩ}\).

Would you like further details on the calculation steps, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions that may expand your understanding:
1. How are resistors combined in parallel different from those in series?
2. What are the implications of resistance on current flow in a circuit?
3. How would adding another resistor in parallel between \(R5\) and \(R6\) affect the overall resistance?
4. What role does \(R7\) play in the total resistance calculation?
5. How can the total equivalent resistance be used to calculate the total current in the circuit?

**Tip:** When resistors are combined in parallel, the total resistance decreases because multiple paths are provided for the current to flow.
