But that's not all there is to it. It really is a network phenomenon. Otherwise you wouldn't expect it to also appear in power networks: http://iopscience.iop.o

- adekok 11y agoA standard physics question is to calculate the electrical flow between two points on an infinite square grid of resistors. Not surprisingly, the flow isn't large. The electricity takes many path through the circuit. Here, too, having fewer paths would result in large flow.
- mikexstudios 11y agoBut the equivalent resistance always decreases as the grid of resistors increase. I don't see how having "fewer paths would result in a large flow".

- Asbostos 11y agoWow, it seems like you can do it with a simple DC circuit too! That paper's a bit complicated but if you just make the road network with constant voltage drop diodes and resistors instead of constant travel time roads and time-proportional-to-traffic roads respectively, it looks like adding a link actually increases the voltage drop across the overall circuit for a constant current!!
