Homework Statement The problem is in the thumbnail Homework Equations None The Attempt at a Solution I just wanted to double check my answer on this: Left side of the coil is North Right side of the coil is South The arrows that indicate the direction of the current should be facing up in...

I have the final answer but I am afraid I am not understanding how I got there. You said that Req was equal to 20...but where did that number even come from?

So R3 would be 8 then...?

Im not quite following...because if I do that i'd be getting the exact same answer: The amperage in R2 is 0.24, and its resistance is 5. That means that 0.24 * 5 = 1.2 volts. Which would mean that 1,2 volts also goes into R3. In R3 if the voltage is 1.2 and the amperage is 0.06, you would plug...

But if you don't know what R3 is then how are you supposed to find the equivalent??

I know that the amperage had to be 0.06A because the circuit had a total of 0.3A and resistor 2 had 0.24A going through it, so 0.3 - 0.24 = 0.06A for R3. Also after R1, the remaining voltage was 1.2V which was carried to both R2 and R3. I used 1.2V / 0.06A to get a Ω of 20. Im only assuming...

Ahh okay. So for the last two columns of the chart: Resistor 3: 20Ω, 0.06A, 1.2V Resistor 4: 12Ω, 0.06A, 0.6V And then the power would be Ptotal = Vtotal * I total P = 3V * 0.30A P = 0.90 watts Therefore the power of the circuit would be 0.90 watts. I believe this is correct, yes?

Ahh yes it would be in Joules...Thanks for the help!

Ahh I see where I went wrong. The example questions like to use numbers like 1.9 * 10^-4 rather than use the actual whole number so I got confused. I would need to convert grams to kilograms which would mean the number would now become: 1.8884 * 10^-5 Now I plug it into E = mc^2 and get: E =...

Ahh I see where I went wrong. The example

Im not quite sure what you mean by all of that. I assume you mean I need to convert grams to a different unit of measurement but I am not sure what. Also what do you mean by "I think you are assuming, based on the wording of the question, that only 1 atom of D and T react?"

Homework Statement I have the question with a diagram posted in the thumbnail to make things easier. Homework Equations E = mc² The Attempt at a Solution The homework only had a single example for a question like this so I am not 100% sure how to get the answer. So far I've added the 2...
