The resistance between two arbitrary nodes in a resistor network is obtained in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian matrix associated with the network. Explicit formulae for two-point resistances are deduced for regular lattices in one, two and three dimensions under various boundary conditions including that of a Möbius strip and a Klein bottle. The emphasis is on lattices of finite sizes. We also deduce summation and product identities which can be used to analyse large-size expansions in two and higher dimensions.
