    Thanks so much. I love gadgets so I think hardware/electronic engineering is where I want to be. I just want to make sure I am not going into a dead market.

    Engineering Computer Engineering Career Paths

    The university I am currently at offers three "concentrations", if that's what you want to call it. They are hardware systems; communications and signal processing; and computer architecture, software and systems. What is the current job market like for these three areas? Are all the jobs...

    Engineering Circuit help (parallel and series together)

    The issue for me was that I thought that 50V was the sum of the voltage of the entire circuit, as in Ra V + Rb V + Rc V. Again, thank you!

    Engineering Circuit help (parallel and series together)

    Well I got Rc, but basically you are saying that I can find Ra voltage drop by: 50V = Ra - (Rc voltage drop)?

    Oh and I also tried getting the percentage of resistance of both sides of the parallel resistors and tried applying it to the current of both respectively.

    Engineering Circuit help (parallel and series together)

    Well, I have tried applying Kirchoff's Laws and tried to find the currents of the first two resistors, but I don't think I can without knowing all but one of them. 50V - IR1 - IR2 - IR3 = 0 50V - 55I1 - 310I2 - (24)(.707090275) = 0 I found the third current by taking the voltage/overall...

    Engineering Help with circuits (Current, Voltage Drop, and Power Dissipation)

    Yea, I reentered them without rounding, and they were correct. Thank you, berkeman.

    12V/250(Rtotal) = 0.048A which I rounded to 0.05A. Vdrop1 = 120 * .05 = 6 Vdrop2 = 80 * .05 = 4 Vdrop3 = 50* .05 = 2.5 Do you think I just rounded too early?

    I just got the power dissipation problems. All I need is the voltage drop. Apparently, V=IR doesn't apply here?

    To jack: yes I know those formulas but I thought you were supposed to do something else. Do I just add them as usual?
