Abstract: We study resistance distances (effective resistances) in the n -dimensional hypercube Qn. Closed forms are known for pairs of vertices at distance 1 (adjacent) and n (antipodal). We extend these results to all intermediate distances k, deriving identities that link hitting times and resistance distances across dimensions. In particular, we obtain a simple inter-dimensional recursion and an explicit representation of the resistance distance between vertices at distance k as a linear combination of resistance distances between adjacent vertices in hypercubes of lower dimension.
