    Is Magnitude in Polar Form Always Representative of Peak Voltage?

    Homework Statement I am confused. My thinking was if a voltage source is given in polar form with the magnitude and angle eg. (10 L0o)then it is Vpk and if only magnitude is given then it is Vrms. Is it right. I am really confused. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I...

    How Do You Differentiate the Function y = (3x^2-4)^(1/2) + (x^2+4)^(1/2)?

    Homework Statement differentiate y = (3x2-4)1/2+(x2+4)1/2 with respect to x Homework Equations y = (3x2-4)1/2+(x2+4)1/2 The Attempt at a Solution dy/dx = (3x2-4)1/2dy/dx+(x2+4)1/2dy/dx Is it correct...? for the first part let u = (3x2-4)1/2 du/dx = 6x y = u1/2 dy/du = 1/2u-1/2 dy/dx =...

    How Do You Calculate Impedance in a Resonant RLC Circuit?

    Homework Statement Quick one guys, I am very confused about the impedance of a RLC circuit. Say when you have more than one resistor or more than one capacitor or inductor in different combination, you get a impedance with two parts(imaginary which is the reactive part and the resistive...

    Finding the Gradient and Solving for Zero Points on a Cubic Curve

    solving the quadratic equation i get x = (5+18.5i) and (5-18.5i) which are the complex roots and does this mean that it will never touch the x-axis...?

    Finding the Gradient and Solving for Zero Points on a Cubic Curve

    what do you mean by "What should you expect if no zero derivatives exist?" What do I do? My question for the problem is are both part1 and part 2 the same thing. I mean part 1 says calculate and part 2 says show by differentiation and solving a quadratic equation. Do I have to differentiate(for...

    Find Max Power From Circuit: 33 Ohm Resistor

    MATLABdude first thanks for the reply, I know that the maximum power transfer occurs when the load resistance is equal to that of the voltage source internal resistance. Are you saying that looking from the 33ohm resistor point of view and calculating the total resistance of all the...
