    Engineering What is the Thevenin Equivalent Circuit for a Car Battery?

    The way I understand it, thevenin circuit is the equivalent open circuit voltage and the resistance/impedence seen looking in from the terminals. In this problem to work out your thevenin resistance, you are given the current that flows and the voltage across the terminals when the circuit is...

    Ac analysis with dependent source

    If I convert to the frequency domain and have my voltage as my zero phase reference it shouldn't matter should it? ie voltage 7.071 V @ 0degrees I thought what I tried was mesh loop analysis.

    Calculate the voltage for a diode

    ot sure if this helps or hinders. But there is Wien's Law that allows you to determine Peak wavelength for a given temperature in Kevin ie \lambda _{peak} T = 2.90 \times 10^{ - 3} meters.Kelvin The energy gap is the energy required by a semiconductor needed before starting to...

    Charge enclosed Guassian surface

    Sorry I do realize the units should be in Coulombs I just in autopilot when I was typing units in sorry. As far as the Areas goes, that what I thought initially aswell. When I calculated the surface area initially I did so for a cube. Thus 6x^2 where x was side dimension of cube. ie the...

    Vectors, line contained within plane

    Homework Statement It seems to be obvious. But would like to check that for a line to be contained in a plane it needs to be parallel. Correct? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

    What is the Cartesian equation of the plane containing a given line and point?

    I still haven't been able to do this. I tried to do with cross product of <0,1,2> x <-1,2,1> to get vector normal , which was <-3,-2,1> than did <-3,-2,1> . < x- (-1), y-2, z-1 >=0 which worked out to be -3x-2y+z=0 however this is not the answer still.
