Homework Statement Homework Equations First problem: Second problem: The Attempt at a Solution I assume it is acceptable to lump this section into the previous one, as I believe they go hand in hand in this case. My apologies if not. I am definitely a lot more lost in the second...

How would I establish that the series that I have can be compared to that one? I can see the similarity, but I feel like if I just introduced that series out of no where that I would lose points. Do I manipulate it? Or is that series smaller than the one that I have, where I could define it...

Homework Statement This problem takes a bit of background, so please bear with me. The assignment reads: Suppose you have a large supply of books, all the same size, and you stack them at the edge of a table, with each book extending farther beyond the edge of the table than the one...

Hello, everyone. I am an Oregon resident who has decided to switch from Electrical Engineering to Physics. I feel like my true passion lies in Physics :) My hope is to earn a PhD. So my primary concern is getting into a school that can get me a strong PhD. Anyway, I live in Portland...

Bump :x I am also most interested in graduate studies at UW at the moment. Any advice as to whether I am on a good track right now?

Hello, everyone. I am currently in an EE program with an expected graduation date of June 2012, and I am getting a better idea of what I want to be doing later down the road. I have decided that I want to pursue graduate studies with Nanotechnology. I am mostly interested with nanotech...

Well, I figured that I could simply combine the two current sources. But in this case do they combine or do they subtract from one another? They both point upwards, but following each of them, would they not be going different directions when crossing through the inductor? It seems like the...

Homework Statement Homework Equations I am not really sure which equations would be relevant since my question seems to be more so concepts instead of numbers, so forgive me please :( I am familiar with how to do just about all of this problem, I am simply baffled as to how I handle the...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I get it :D

Ok, I think I got it! I think that my first 2 voltages were right. That is to say, for E1, and E2. I think my problem came from E3. If I am incorrect, please correct me. So what I changed was, well, I'll simply attach a picture of how I changed E3 and then added all the voltages...

My apologies. I meant to label the two ends of "Rl" as A and B. I was told that using superposition, I am supposed to do that, and find Eth as the voltage between A and B. So what you did was simply make the first two wires current with resistors in ll? I'll give it a shot! I don't...

Homework Statement Homework Equations Thevenin stuff, right? The Attempt at a Solution So, I tried to re-write everything and make it a bit easier to understand: I ended up getting Rth completely fine and everything, but I can't seem to get Eth. So from there, I...

Thanks for the replies everyone! It is beginning to make more sense to me :) What I now have is: -10v+(4ohms)I1+(3ohms)I3-12v=0 12v-(3ohms)I3)-(12ohms)I2=0 Then I1+I2=I3 My question is, are my current numberings right? Is it that the left branch adds with the far right branch to make the...

Hello! I have been working on this problem for around 1.5 hours, and decided I simply need help. Homework Statement "Using branch-current analysis, find the magnitude and direction of the current through each resistor for the network. Homework Equations I tried using kirchhoffs...

Homework Statement The part that I am having problems with is part A, which asks for Is and Vl. I plain and simply can not figure it out. The teach provides answers to check our work, and she said Vl = 11.90 volts. But I don't see how that is the case. I also have no idea how to find...
