Hi, I'm confused with the solution given for this practice problem. All of these components are said to be in parallel, yet the current is worked out only across the resistors. I thought the inductor would be a short circuit to DC. Am I looking at this backwards, is it modelling the inductor...

Homework Statement A bag of sand weighing 100 N is hanging on the end of a long, light rope. The bag is pulled to one side by a horizontal force so that the rope makes an angle of 250 with the vertical. Find the magnitudes of the horizontal force and the tension in the rope.The Attempt at a...

I am to contrast the difference between modified square wave, and synthesized sine wave inverter outputs. Am I to understand, that a modified square wave output is like a square wave, but the transtion to current flow in the other direction is delayed some at the zero point. This is to give...

I'm doing a diploma in renewable energy from a technical college. I'm learning how the magic boxes with terminal screws on them regulate battery charging, convert 12/24V DC to 240 AC, convert 3 phase from a wind turbine to DC etc. I'm to learn briefly how the circuits work but not to the point...

Homework Statement List the major device ratings for a MOSFET. The Attempt at a Solution Simple question yeah? Data sheets list about 20 ratings for each device, and they don't explain the acronyms. VBRDSS = Vegemite BReaD Salad Sandwich? Can someone help me trim them...

What are the major device ratings for a MOSFET?

I have trouble getting my head around Zener Diodes. If you reverse bias them, and apply a current, it will not conduct until the applied voltage reaches the Zener Voltage. Am I to understand that no matter how much voltage (within reason) you apply to the diode, its output voltage will always...
