    Engineering Find the total work in a circuit

    Well the difference in the capacitor energies is: ##ΔE_c=(frac{1}{2}(Q_o+q)^C_1+\frac{1}{2}(q)^2/C_2)-\frac{1}{2}(Q_o)^2/C_1=-150uJ## The work of the generator is ##Eq=-100uJ## Since ##-250uJ## wasnt's correct i guess the equation is ##ΔE=ΔE_c-Eq=-50uJ## but why is it ##-Eq## we are subtracting...

    Engineering Find the total work in a circuit

    Homework Statement This is a problem from some textbook a friend emailed me: The text goes like this: When the switch is open the charge on ##C1## equals ##Q_o=40uC## and ##C_2## has no charge on it. The switch closes and some charge ##q## flows through the capacitors (suppose the flow to be...

    Delta-Y transformation of resistors

    Ohhh, i see now, i had this all wrong. Turns out algebra is the killer here. Thanks man! :D

    Delta-Y transformation of resistors

    Sure, :). ##R_1=\frac{R_{12}*R_{31}}{R_{12}+R_{23}+R_{31}}## ##G_1=\frac{1/G_{12}+1/G_{23}+1/G_{31}}{1/G_{12}*1/G_{31}}## ##G_1=\frac{(G_{12}+G_{23}+G_{31})/(G_{12}*G_{23}*G_{31})}{1/(G_{12}*G_{31})}## ##G_1=\frac{G_{12}+G_{23}+G_{31}}{G_{23}}## See it? :)

    Delta-Y transformation of resistors

    Homework Statement Starting from the expression of the Delta-Y resistor transformation work out the conductance transformation equation. Homework Equations 3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B] I will just be using one equation as others are done analogically. My Δ has ##(R_{12},R_{23},R_{13})##...

    Engineering Transformation of resistors in a circuit

    Would you like me to post the full problem solution so you can see if we got something wrong since it does equal to the solution from the book?

    Engineering Transformation of resistors in a circuit

    Sure, here it is: And here is the original text: "The switch is open in state 1 and then it closes. During the time until the stationary condition appears, ##+2uC## of charge flows through the wire with ##C_1## Calculate the amount that goes through the wire with ##C_2##." Using this...

    Find the limit of the expression

    So, ##\ln u=\ln \left(\frac{n^2+2n+1}{n^2+2n+3}\right)^{\frac{2n^2}{n+1}}## ##\ln u=\frac{2n^2}{n+1}\ln \left(\frac{n^2+2n+1}{n^2+2n+3}\right)## ##\lim_{n\to\infty}\ln u=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{2n^2}{n+1}\ln \left(\frac{n^2+2n+1}{n^2+2n+3}\right)## ##\lim_{n\to\infty}\ln...

    How can I effectively use images and equations in my online science forum posts?

    Sure sure, no theories's of everything from me.. Is there any special way you post diagrams? LaTex for equations i see.

    How can I effectively use images and equations in my online science forum posts?

    Hi, a friend told me about this site and am anxious to try it out. I think it's great that you help students understand the materials by making them realize it instead of telling them. Great to be here and looking forward to our time together.. :-)
