    Calculating Efficiency of Otto Cycle

    My team has recorded information on a single cylinder Otto cycle from a lab we have done. We are supposed to compare the theoretical efficiency of the cycle to the experimental efficiency. Using a given compression ratio of 3 and the ratio of specific heats for the fuels we used we were able to...

    How Do You Calculate Current in Different Parts of a Circuit?

    1. In the circuit of the figure, find the current supplied by the battery. 2. Find the current through the 6\Omega resistor. Attempt at a solution: To find the total current supplied by the battery I tried: \frac{6*4*2}{6+4+2} = 4\Omega Then I did that resistance in series with...
