Homework Statement I am trying to find the Thevenin Equivalent of this circuit Homework Equations Using KCL and node voltage The Attempt at a Solution I found the open circuit voltage for the thevenin voltage so far by the mesh current method, and now I am trying to find the closed circuit...

Hmm okay, I'll definitely look into that. Thanks everyone for the help

Great, I've been working through them. What type of conversion are you talking about? I can tell it's not the same as the others

Okay, makes sense. Thanks a lot for your help

Ah okay I think Isee, so after that it is in series with the 42 and that combination is in parallel with the 21?

Okay, but do the marker points change anything? Is 42 and 21 in series or parallel in diagram a?

But does it affect the resistance between 42 and 21? Are those in series still?

Homework Statement I'm having trouble trying to find equivalent resistance. Here's a picture of some circuits I am trying to simplify (http://puu.sh/ngjMC/38160c3464.png) For example, in circuit a, I can see that the 84 ohm and 105 ohm resistor are in series, and that can be simplified, but...

Very helpful, thank you. I think i see how to go about it now, and I ended up getting a value of -1.2631 Volts. Messing with the units was troublesome, but I think I finally understand. I really appreciate your help, thanks again.

What you're saying makes sense, but I'm now sure how to make that happen. From working out the problem, I have a voltage vs time graph that is linearly increasing until 4 micro-seconds, and then linearly decreasing from 4 to 7 microseconds. The starting voltage is at 0, and ending is at .0065V...

I can see that shifting the voltage graph down will shift the power graph down, and at a certain point this would balance out the positive and negative portions giving me a work of 0, but I'm still confused as to how to figure out that specific shift value. What sort of formulas should I be...

Homework Statement I am currently trying to work on the extra credit question, the capacitance of the capacitor is 2 microfarads Homework Equations W = 1/2CV^2 The Attempt at a Solution I've done the previous sections, and have gotten 4.23 * 10^-11 J as the answer for the work done on the...
