I know I(t) = Io [1 - e-t/t ] is the formula to calculate the current in an RL circuit, however i have no clue what "e" stands for. Can someone give me an insight?

never mind ...i found the answer. What i wanted was the maximum voltage to each resistor.

Homework Statement Three 100 resistors are connected as shown in the figure. The maximum power that can safely be delivered to anyone resistor is 28.0 W. "http://imageshack.us Homework Equations P = VI The Attempt at a Solution I found the total resistance of the circuit, but i don't...

thanx guys :)

Two capacitors when connected in parallel give an equivalent capacitance of 9.00 pF and an equivalent capacitance of 1.55 pF when connected in series. What is the capacitance of each capacitor? in parallel: C1 + C2 = 9.00 pF in series: (1/C1) + (1/C2) = (1/1.55pF) My attempt: (C1 +...

thanx for the quick reply guys...dynamicsolo, i should have thought about both of ur conclusions...im dumb :s

According to its design specification, the timer circuit delaying the closing of an elevator door is to have a capacitance of 33.0 µF between two points A and B. (a) When one circuit is being constructed, the inexpensive but durable capacitor installed between these two points is...

A transverse wave on a string is described by the following wave function. y = (0.100 m) sin [(x/11 + 3t)] (a) Determine the transverse speed and acceleration at t = 0.150 s for the point on the string located at x = 1.60 m. (b) What are the wavelength, period, and speed of propagation of...

i don't understand, i have for: m1 T - m1g = m1a m2 m2g - T = m2a

You are given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table in the figure is 0.560, and m1 = 0.150 kg and m2 = 0.250 kg. (a) What should m3 be if the system is to move with a constant speed? this is what i have: T2 - T1 - f = m3a m2g - m1g - ukg = m3 2.45 - 9.65 -...

I have the same exact problem with the incline...I think we have the same prof. Is it from the study guide on webassign?

Lets say an object with an initial velocity collides with a still object. Collision is perfectly inelastic and the surface is frictionless. How can i know how far it traveled? I solved for the sum of P final = the sum of P initial, but then i don't know how to relate to distance, all i have is...
