    Why does (-1)^n(sin(pi/n)) converge when (sin(p/n)) diverges

    Homework Statement I know that ∑n=1 to infinity (sin(p/n)) diverges due using comparison test with pi/n, despite it approaching 0 as n approaches infinity. However, an alternating series with (-1)^n*sin(pi/n) converges. Which does not make sense because it consists of two diverging functions...

    Alternating RLC circuit with an additional capacitor

    No, it will not, since the two branches are in parallel! So the current wouldn't change! Thanks for the hint! However, if it does not change, then the current out from the source after the switch is closed will be higher than when the switch is opened. Does that mean the impedance of the entire...

    Alternating RLC circuit with an additional capacitor

    Homework Statement http://imgur.com/a/TOUjV part b, specifically finding the maximum charge for C1. The question that boggles me is whether Imax changes on the left side of the circuit, after the switch closes. Homework Equations V=IR Xc = 1/(wC) XL = wL The Attempt at a Solution I was able...

    Current Through A Resistor That Is In Parallel With A Capacitor

    I am taking first year physics and Thevenin is not in the curriculum so I'm not sure how to calculate it. I will learn how it works then!

    Current Through A Resistor That Is In Parallel With A Capacitor

    Homework Statement [/B] My question is regarding part C of the question. Homework Equations V = IR V(t) = V(1-e^(-t/tau)) The Attempt at a Solution My idea is to use Kirchoff's Voltage Law and find the voltage of the capacitor as a function of time, then since the voltage across capacitor is...

    Reducing all circuit resistors to only parallel and series?

    Thankyou for the heart warming welcome! I managed to find the answer for this question on chegg, and it appears to be a yes. Unfortunately I do not have an account and therefore cannot see how they proved it. I believe the Resistor Cube you suggested also answers the question, though I need to...

    Reducing all circuit resistors to only parallel and series?

    Homework Statement The problem from the textbook is: Is it possible to connect resistors together in a way that cannot be reduced to some combination of series and parallel combinations? Homework Equations V = IR kirchhoff's current law kirchhoff's loop law The Attempt at a Solution I am...
