Yah. This is all coming back to me now that I've wiki'd it. But, I haven't seen it since uni 10 years ago so I'm no help to the OP. Hopefully our discussion has at least gave him food for thought.
You are likely right, it has been a long time since I looked at transmission line theory. I assumed this was a more elementary power transmission problem.
Although, having said that, I did a work term at a power distribution company and the entire grid is modeled as a thevenin right up to the...
The two series impedances are both, as a combined single impedance, in parallel with the last impedance. That is why vela and yourself are both correct.
I don't understand what Vi is that you are supposed to calculate if they have told you that the voltage at your house is Vs?
Without doing any work, you should investigate Thevenin Equivalent Circuits which should produce all of the answers that you seek.
Well, it's not that I am anti-UofA or UofC, but, I didn't realize they were both so highly regarded in this regard and primarily my reason for discounting both is that I have lived in Alberta my entire life and experiencing something new and gaining additional perspective on the world is...
So, I have an undergrad in EE from U of Alberta, and I have thought a lot about going back to school for a more physics centric education. Obviously medical physics is an interesting option, but I am unsure exactly how much upgrading I may require to get accepted into an MSC program. FYI, if I...
