A series of concentric ellipses E1,E2, E...

A series of concentric ellipses `E_1,E_2, E_3..., E_n` are drawn such that E touches the extremities of the major axis of `E_(n-1)`, and the foci of `E_n` coincide with the extremities of minor axis of `E_(n-1)` If the eccentricity of the ellipses is independent of n, then the value of the eccentricity, is
