Why?
That is really cool! Thanks for sharing.To devise awkward exam questions for students?
Repeated star delta transforms will reduce the triangles At each iteration to fewer new triangles each with R‘=2R/3 until you are left with just one star.
At university, I was given an exam question to work out the resistance of chicken wire.
I had to explain to my supervisor that on chicken wire each horizontal section is R/2 because it consists of two strands twisted together, and that if he wanted me to work out the resistance of a hexagonal mesh with equal value resistors he shouldn’t have said it was chicken wire.
I grew up in farming country - I know about chicken wire.
You made me curious and I think I will check out the chicken wire idea as well.That is really cool! Thanks for sharing.![]()
Cool! Please share your results, we can learn from each other.You made me curious and I think I will check out the chicken wire idea as well.
