Simple Lazy Current Question (Circuit)

In summary, the speaker is asking if, in a circuit with a 12V voltage source and a 4k ohm resistor, the current would take the path of least resistance and go through the short circuit created by making the inductor a short for infinite time. The speaker also mentions the concept of a voltage divider equation and the idea that the current through the short circuit comes from the two voltage sources.

ok this is what i have, i want to know if the current would go through the 12V and 4k ohm resistor, since there is a short path (by making the inductor a short for time = infinity) would the current be lazy and take the path through the short or would it also go through the 12v and 4k ohm.

What are your thoughts? What is the resistance in Ohms for a short circuit? What is the voltage divider equation?

You must remember that the current through the short circuit comes from the two voltage sources.
 

1. What is a simple lazy current question circuit?

A simple lazy current question circuit is an electrical circuit that consists of a power source, a resistor, and a switch. The circuit is called "lazy" because it requires minimal effort to operate - simply flipping the switch allows current to flow through the circuit.

2. How does a simple lazy current question circuit work?

The power source, such as a battery, provides a potential difference that pushes electrons through the circuit. The resistor resists the flow of current, and the switch controls whether the current can flow through the circuit or not. When the switch is closed, current can flow through the circuit. When the switch is open, the circuit is broken and no current can flow.

3. What is the purpose of a simple lazy current question circuit?

Simple lazy current question circuits are used to demonstrate basic principles of electricity, such as how a power source, resistor, and switch work together to create a complete circuit. They can also be used to power simple devices, such as a light bulb or a motor.

4. What are the advantages of a simple lazy current question circuit?

Simple lazy current question circuits are easy to understand and operate, making them a great tool for teaching basic electrical concepts. They also require minimal components and can be set up quickly, making them a convenient choice for simple experiments or demonstrations.

5. Are there any limitations to a simple lazy current question circuit?

While simple lazy current question circuits are great for demonstrating basic concepts, they are not suitable for more complex applications. The limited components and simplistic design make them unsuitable for powering more advanced devices or for use in larger electrical systems.
