Abstract
Consider the electrical resistancer n (p) of a hypercubic bond lattice [O,n]d inZ d, where the bonds have resistance 1Ω with probabilityp or ∞ with probability 1-p. Letp n (p)=n 2-d r n (p) andp(p)=limn→∞pn(p). It is well known thatp(p)<∞ ifp>p c andp(p)=∞ ifp<p c , wherep c is the percolation threshold. Here we show thatp(p c )=∞, and\(\lim _{p \downarrow p_c } \rho (p) = \rho (p_c ) = \infty \).
