ladder {ResistorArray} | R Documentation |
Resistor network. Consider node 1 to be Earth. Nodes 2...n are each connected to node 1 by a resistor. For 1<i<n, node i is connected to node i+1.
ladder(n, x = 1, y = 1, z = NULL)
n |
Number of nodes |
x |
Resistance of “vertical” resistors. Standard recycling rules are used. |
y |
Resistance of “horizontal” resistors. Standard recycling rules are used. |
z |
Resistance of all resistors in the network. If
supplied, x and y are discarded. |
Returns a standard conductance matrix

##Resistance of an infinite Jacob's ladder known to be (sqrt(5)-1)/2: phi <- (sqrt(5)-1)/2 resistance(ladder(20),1,2) - phi resistance(ladder(60),1,2) - phi Wu(ladder(20))[1,2]-phi
