Elementary Methods for Infinite Resistive Networks with Complex Topologies

Classical Physics 2021-05-12 v2

Abstract

Finding the equivalent resistance of an infinite ladder circuit is a classical problem in physics. We expand this well-known challenge to new classes of network topologies, in which the unit cells are much more entangled together. The exact analytical results there can still be obtained with elementary methods. These topology classes will add layers of complexity and much more diversity to a very popular kind of physics puzzles for teachers and students.
