An Alternative Approach to Capacitors in Complex Arrangements
Atkin, Keith
Physics Education, v47 n3 p326-328 May 2012
Examples of capacitive circuits easily reducible to series and parallel combinations abound in the textbooks but students are rarely exposed to examples where such simple procedures are apparently impossible. This paper extends that of a previous contributor by showing how the delta-star theorem of network theory can resolve such difficulties. (Contains 4 figures.)
