    Understanding Magnetic Fields: Compass Direction in a Bar Magnet

    Homework Statement If a compass was placed inside a bar magnet which way would north point. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution It seems when you put a compass around a bar magnet it points in the direction of the tangent to the magnetic field line at that location...

    Calculating Time Interval and Speed of Inertial Clock

    Homework Statement In the Home Frame, two events are observed to occur with a spatial separation of 12ns and a time coordination separation of 24ns. A)An inertial clock travels between these events in such a manner as to be present at both events. What timer interval does this clock read...

    What Is Vo in a Power Source Diagram Circuit?

    Circuit help Homework Statement I have a book problem that show this pic (see attachment) The problem wants me to calculate Vo and the end point of the graph and midpoint but I am not sure what Vo is. Homework Equations Vo=Va-Vb The Attempt at a Solution I think Vo is the total...

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    Sorry bulb A is the resistor parallel with the capacitor

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    in this circuit when the switch is closed for a long time... the capacitor will charge correct? Bulb A will continuously be lit correct? Im not sure what happens to bulb B, will it light then dim itself a little because of the capacitor or will it light as bright as A ( bulb A and B have the...

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    If you don't mind me asking what would happen if bulb B was placed next to the negative terminal and the switch was closed for a long time? would the current through A be equal to the current through B

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    Wow thanks so much for taking the time to help me understand these circuits better gneil. I can't thank you enough, but if it makes you feel better i also help younger students with their work when asked :) its very rewarding.

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    when switch is closed and i wanted to rank my voltages immediately would they be Vbattery=Vbulb A=Vbulb B > V capacitor . V capacitor= 0 After switch is closed for a longtime current rankings I battery = I bulb A > I bulb B . I bulb B = 0 Is this true? If the switch is located next to...

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    So when are switch is closed bulb b will light but eventually turn off and the capacitor will then be charge and while this goes on bulb A will be lit continuously?

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    voltage across capacitor is 4v and resistor is 0v

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    well the resistor is actually a light bulb so when the circuit is first connected let's say with a switch the light bulb will light up but at time goes on the light bulb will go out. No more current will be flowing and the capacitor will be charged.

    How Do Voltages Distribute in an RC Circuit with Equal Resistors?

    Homework Statement In a problem I have a circuit that I have not set up to know what happens as far as voltages across my battery(4v), two equal resistors and a capacitor. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Because i have not seen a circuit like this I am thinking that...
