Short rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply. A number in a circle is the geometric mean of the number in the wavy cell and the one- or two-digit number in the gray region each connected to the circle by a black line.
Longer rules with physics background: Normal Sudoku rules apply. An inductor is a cell with three half-waves (a “coil”) containing its inductance, L, as a digit. A capacitor is a gray region of one or two horizontally neighboring cells bounded by two black parallel bars; its capacitance, C, is given by the number it contains. For a two-cell capacitor, the capacitance is written as a two-digit number with the tens digit on the left and the ones digit on the right. A black line represents an electric wire. An assembly of an inductor and a capacitor connected by electric wires within a loop represents an LC circuit. The oscillation period, T, of an LC circuit is given by T = 2π Sqrt(LC), where Sqrt() is the square root operation. A circled cell on a wire contains the oscillation period T in units of 2π, i.e., Sqrt(LC), of the corresponding LC circuit.
Your feedback, ratings and comments are highly appreciated. Have fun!
LC circuits in physics: An LC circuit is an electric circuit consisting of an inductor and a capacitor connected together, just as described in the puzzle rules. It can be used to realize electrical oscillators, filters, or other components in electronic devices such as in radio technology. Current and voltage follow periodic oscillations with a frequency f = 1/T. Realistic circuits have also a resistance, ignored in this idealized case. Please see my Sudoku Electric Circuits for more information on the relation between resistance, voltage, and current.
Solution code: All digits of row 7 (from left to right) followed by column 9 (from top to bottom) without spaces.
