    Exploring College Options: Advice for a Senior Prepharmacy Student

    Hi there, I am an E&EE undergrad in my final year. However I need some advice regarding my final 2 classes. In the last semester I took Acoustics & Audio Technology and Control, which I both really enjoyed and the exams went really well. Now I am not sure what to take for my final option. I...

    Engineering How Does Setting Rx to 60k Affect the Output Voltage in an Ideal Op Amp Circuit?

    hey, the answer is 4.8V i got the answer in the end and my understanding of op-amps is now pretty solid. Thanks Physforums

    Engineering How Does Setting Rx to 60k Affect the Output Voltage in an Ideal Op Amp Circuit?

    ok so Rx and R2 is another voltage divider, actually I have just spotted where most of my confusion lies, so this has just become so much clearer, thanks. I do still need to review nodal analysis.

    Engineering How Does Setting Rx to 60k Affect the Output Voltage in an Ideal Op Amp Circuit?

    This is more complicated than I need to learn for my exam, but I just see it as...If I know how to complete more complex problems my understanding can only get better

    Engineering How Does Setting Rx to 60k Affect the Output Voltage in an Ideal Op Amp Circuit?

    Ok, I was really tired when I made this post but I think I get your hints. Is Vo divided over R3 and R1 as they are both in series as a voltage divider? I see what you mean about iR2 = iRx but not equal to Vs/R2, would it be equal to Vs/Rx? (actually, ignore that...its a current divider between...

    How can this function be simplified?

    Ok, I've never heard of this other way but good luck

    Max Current Time for Inductance Q1: Solve for t

    ahhhh thankyou, I really should double check more often. I was nearly pulling my hair out over that!

    Max Current Time for Inductance Q1: Solve for t

    1. i = 10te^(-5t), at what instant of time is the current maximum? first I differentiated i, using the product rule. di/dt = (10e^(-5t)) (1-5) , that's what I got after simplifying, I am pretty certain this is correct. My confusion comes in when taking natural logarithms. if ln(e(^1)) =...

    Calculating Total Current in Circuit: Superposition Problem 2

    So am I right in assuming the 1.6mA is not the correct answer? I am fairly sure that my calculations are correct, I will have another look. Thank you SGT for your pointers on series parallel relationships, the final cog turned this morning! Does anyone have any recommended texts that mainly...

    Calculating Total Current in Circuit: Superposition Problem 2

    the back of the book says 1.6mA is flowing through R3, to me doesn't seem to make any sense.

    Calculating Total Current in Circuit: Superposition Problem 2

    Find the total amount of current flowing through R3 in the circuit below. I mainly have doubts whether the answer given in the book is correct, to me it doesn't seem correct. Heres my attempt anyway. http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/7584/superposition2iu4.png Make VS1 a short. Rt...

    Calculating Current Using Superposition Theorem

    Ok well I am starting to get the hang of all this now, thanks a lot for your help. Ill go back and review series parallel relationships as they seem to be my biggest weak spot at the moment.

    Calculating Current Using Superposition Theorem

    Ok well I had another go, here's what I got Make VS2 a short Rt = R1+R2//R3+R4//R5 = 3200//2000//2200 = 790ohms (I assume this is correct). It(vs1) = 2/790 = 2.531mA Therefore IR5 = 790/2200 x 2.531mA = 908microA(is this correct? as I5 = Rt/R5 * It(vs1)). Make VS1 a short. Rt...
