摘要
We generalize Kirchoff's law for multiply connected wire networks to finite frequencies. We focus on the boundary conditions not present in the conventional Kirchoff's law at joints when more than three wires come together, which is absent in our previous "circuit theory" for the finite frequency properties of metallic wire networks for singly connected structures. These boundary conditions at the joints involve introducing localized boundary electric fields, in addition to the electric fields of inductive and capacitive origins. The boundary fields act as natural "Lagrange multipliers" for imposing the boundary conditions on the circuit currents. In this way the number of equations is the same as the number of unknowns. The eigenmodes determine not only the circuit current and charge profiles, but also the boundary electric fields which supplement such profiles. The application to T- and H-shape metallic wire networks suggests that the basic types of resonances are mainly controlled by the symmetry and the wire dimensions of the networks. The low frequency modes form along the longest connected paths of the wire network while the high frequency modes can be generated via succeedingly adding more nodes along these various wire paths. The characteristic behavior of the electric and magnetic responses can be inferred from the circuit current profile of a given mode, which offers a simple physical picture on circuit design with particular electromagnetic parameters.
