I cannot thank you all enough! That makes it much clearer, @BvU! :w

Another Q if anyone has time: If I have a circuit like this: and I need to get Rac (I already have Rab) how do I draw my new diagram to determine whether R1 is parallel or in series with Rab? I guess a better way to ask is: when you have a combined Resistance Rab, how do you determine where...

Thanks a ton!

I was able to solve it by using R3 instead in series with R1: Requiv = R1 + R3 = 42 Ohm + 119 Ohm = 161 Ohms I = V/R and I equiv = I1 = I3 12V/161 Ohms = .0745341615 A However, I am kind of fumbling through it so any insight you can give me regarding why my previous attempt at a solution was...

That is the first Q on the homework assignment. If it was irrelevant I apologize but I thought it might provide context for what I was attempting to do. Are you saying that they are in series and not in parallel? If so I am way more confused than I thought I was. Wouldn't the voltage just be...

Homework Statement [/B] R1 = 42 Ω R2 = 124 Ω R3 = 119 Ω R4 = 105 Ω Rx = ? I4 = O A Homework Equations R = IV V = V1 = V2 for parallel Resistors Iequiv = I1 +I2 for parallel Resistors Vequiv = V1+V2 for series Resistors Iequiv = I1= I2 for series Resistors The Attempt at a Solution I have...

Phew! Thank you, finally figured out what I was doing wrong! =)

A mass m = 6.2 kg hangs on the end of a massless rope L = 1.96 m long. The pendulum is held horizontal and released from rest. 1) How fast is the mass moving at the bottom of its path? I calculated this to be 6.201 m/s using the equation v=√(2gh) (correct) 2) What is the magnitude of the...
