Why does having a high input impedance and low output impeda
I've never learned about voltage dividers. Would the Vin in the 2nd stage be larger than the Vout in the 1st stage?- alexdr5398

Why does having a high input impedance and low output impeda
Homework Statement Say you connect Circuit A with low output impedance to circuit B with high input impedance. Why does this cause minimal voltage drop compared to connecting them the other way around (high output to low input). Homework Equations P = V^2/R P = IV The Attempt at a Solution I...- alexdr5398

Why does this bulb get brighter after the switch is closed
Ah okay, I understand now. So, since path bdce has a lower potential, there will no current going through the third bulb?- alexdr5398

Why does this bulb get brighter after the switch is closed
I don't really know how to talk about it in terms of electric potential, but when the switch is closed, some of the current that was going through path ae now goes through path af instead. So now bulb B gets a greater share of the current going through bf, so it shines brighter. Is this correct?- alexdr5398

Oh I guess I assumed they both shined at the same level initially.- alexdr5398

Why does this bulb get brighter after the switch is closed
Hey, sorry I haven't answered in a while. So the potential from a to f will be the same as the potential from b to f, right? So if this is the case then why does bulb B shine brighter than bulb A if both paths have the same potential shared between two bulbs?- alexdr5398

Why does this bulb get brighter after the switch is closed
If lightbulbs A and B have the same resistance, wouldn't the potential across ac be equal to the potential across bd?- alexdr5398

Would e, c, d and f have the same potential? And then a and b would also have the same potential?- alexdr5398

Why does this bulb get brighter after the switch is closed
I still don't really understand. So the voltage across A initially would be equal to emf of the source, right? And the voltage across B is a fraction of the emf,with the other fraction shared with the other lightbulb?- alexdr5398

Finding the direction of current given a varying magnetic....
Homework Statement Homework Equations μ0 In,e = ∫B⋅ds The Attempt at a Solution I really don't how to approach this question at all. Do you have to integrate counterclockwise around the loop every time? If the field was decreasing as y decreased, would you integrate CW or is it still CCW...- alexdr5398

Why does this bulb get brighter after the switch is closed
Homework Statement Homework Equations None The Attempt at a Solution The answer is B, bulb B will be brighter than before. My thought was that initially, the current gets split so that 2/3 I0 goes to the branch with 2 bulbs, since it has twice the resistance of the first branch, and that...- alexdr5398

How do I find the amplitude of the combined signal?
Oh I see. So the maximum y value is the amplitude, and that occurs then the sin term is 1. I know what "μ" is, but isn't the amplitude usually measured in metres? Why is the unit "μV/m" in this case?- alexdr5398
