## Summary

In graph theory, the **resistance distance** between two vertices of a [[simple|00C0BR7D7H]], connected graph, $G$, is equal to the resistance between two equivalent points on an electrical network, constructed so as to correspond to $G$, with each [[edge|00C0BR7D7H]] being replaced by a resistance of one ohm. It is a metric on [[graphs|00C0BR7D7H]].
