Abstract
Unrestricted lattice random walks in which a unit conductor is placed along each bond traversed are considered. The mean end-to-end resistance is studied as a function of the number of steps in the walk and the spatial dimension. A critical scaling law is found whose exponent is consistently given by four different calculational schemes.
