Noting, all the standard textbooks of physics and engineering irrespective of the used components are circuits assembled in two dimensions. Here, by deviating from the “norm” we consider a case where the resistors are arranged in a 3D structure;e.g., a cube. Although, independent of the dimension of the design the same physics principles apply, transitioning from a 2D to a 3D makes the corresponding analysis considerably challenging. In general, with no exception, depending on the used components the analysis faces with solving a set of either algebraic or differential-algebraic equations. Practically, this interfaces with a Computer Algebra System (CAS). The main objective is symbolically to identify the current distributions and the equivalent resistor (s) of cubically assembled resistors.展开更多
