I’m not sure what you mean. It makes a big difference what value I pick for the infinite termination. The value of ##0.9⋅10^n## is not...

The thing I find about continued fractions, and ladder attenuators, is that evaluation from right to left attenuates the numerical...

I have found that this continued fraction converges rather slowly. As ##n→∞##, the horizontal resistors become vanishingly small and the...

Thanks. In looking at the exact solutions for the first few terms it seems the fractions quickly get gigantic. These seem also to have...

Simply fixed value ladders always do converge to a recurring continued fraction, and since an RCF can be evaluated with a quadratic...

Thanks but do you agree it’s converging to an irrational number?

Your spoiler is numerically correct. For each stage, you add conductivity in parallel, then resistance in series. Note that conductivity...

The circuit looks like this; I used LTSpice simulations, hand calculations and other tools to compute the equivalent resistance of...

One of the things that sparks public skepticism is when scientists with expertise in one area use their authority to make pronouncements...

It's not viewed this way by companies that are leaving the higher- tax states like NY, CA in mass. Higher taxes , like just about any...

As already mentioned in other posts the first function is not defined for the value 2. So they aren't entirely the same functions. But...

Euclid constructs the arrangement in Book 6, Prop 13 of Elements. Book 6 Prop 13 To find the (straight-line) in mean proportion to two...

Nerds are people too, but they are non-linear. In normal times, when a nerd stands near a group of n people, that makes n+1 people. In...

I see you just joined. Welcome to Physics Forums! One real benefit is that these kinds of problems help keep the mind sharp as one gets...
