    Schools Can I get into grad school with such a low GPA

    Hey, I'm an Electrical and Computer Engineering senior, studying at the American University of Beirut, one of the top schools in the region. I have recently realized that I really want to go to graduate school and study theoretical computer science, however, due to a general lack of motivation...

    Solve DE Homework: y'/y + lny = sqrt(1-e^x)

    Homework Statement Use appropriate substitution to solve the differential equation y'/y + lny = sqrt(1-e^x) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I thought of trying to substitute y=ux but didn't get any helpful results, any help or hints would be great.

    Mutual inductance in a circuit.

    TEC stands for Thevenin Equivalent Circuit, and the capacitor does not undergo mutual inductance, so I use its phasor form to find the equivalent thevenin resistance like I would with a resistor.

    Mutual inductance in a circuit.

    Homework Statement Derive TEC between terminals "ab". Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I figured I'd add the mutual inductances to the inductors, and solve it as a normal RLC circuit, since no current is passing through the 80j coil, it's inductance wouldn't change...

    Conversion Of Frictional Work To Electricity

    Hello, I am required to write a feasibility study for my Technical English course about a project that could be done in my field of study, I'm an Electrical and Computer Engineering major and I thought of the idea of converting the heat produced by friction of chalk on classroom boards, feet...

    Identifiying Parallel And Series Connections

    It's between a and b in both circuits. Can you explain how to find out which are in series and which are in parallel?

    Identifiying Parallel And Series Connections

    I know that definition but how can I apply it in the circuits attached above? Could you identify the series and parallel connections in those circuits and show the logic followed in that identification?

    Identifiying Parallel And Series Connections

    Homework Statement I'm having a bit of a problem identifying series and parallel connections of resistors in some new circuits I've been exposed to, like the ones posted below. I'd be very grateful if anyone could give me some pointers or tips, or perhaps link me to some videos/explanations...

    Damped Electromagnetic Oscillations

    I did that, let me show you how far I got. Ug= Uc+Ucoil+Ur Uc= q/C, i=-dq/dt, thus q=-∫i.dt=(Im/2∏ft)cos(2∏ft-∅) Ucoil= Ldi/dt = L2∏ftcos(2∏ft-∅) Ur= Ri= Rsin(2∏ft-∅) Umsin(2∏ft)=(Im/2∏ft)cos(2∏ft-∅) + L2∏ftcos(2∏ft-∅) + Rsin(2∏ft-∅) substituting t by 0 yields: (Im/2∏ft)cos(∅) +...

    Damped Electromagnetic Oscillations

    Homework Statement This problem was given in my physics test, and my physics teacher was unable to provide me with an answer for it. Given a circuit made up of a generator of variable frequency, i=Im(sin2∏ft-∅) and voltage u=Um(sin2∏ft), capacitor of capacitance 1μF, resistor of resistance...
