Ok! When I do that I get for the R + jX... Z = 3.24 + j4.32 which is in parallel with the -j6.75 Ztotal = 9 Then to find the total effective current... I = V / Z I = 212.13/9 I = 23.57 A rms which is the correct answer! :) Thank you for your help! I have been stuck on this problem for what...

I think I understand what you're trying to get at, but I just don't exactly know how to get there. Here's where I'm not exactly making the connection... So the effective voltage across the load is 212.13 v and the effective current is 39.28 A. By dividing the voltage by the current, I get the...

Thanks for your response! I fixed the voltage; changing it from peak to rms... Vpeak = 300 v Vrms = 300 * (1/sqrt(2)) Vrms = 212.13 v Then I used this number to solve for the impedance of the capacitor... Q = v^2 / Z Solve for...

Homework Statement I added a circuit that I drew in microsoft paint to add a visual. Sorry for its ugliness! ;D Homework Equations V = I*Z Ieff = I / sqrt(2) Qreactive = V^2 / Z Pavg = (power factor) * (Veff) * (Ieff) Sapparent = ((Ieff)*(Veff))/2 The Attempt at a Solution Since this is...

I tried it out and it worked! Thanks for your help! All this circuit stuff is starting to really make sense now!

Homework Statement Find Vth and Zth. frequency = 2kHz Homework Equations w = 2 * (pi) * f ZL = j w L ZC = -j / (w * C) V = I*Z ZR = R The Attempt at a Solution At first I tried using nodal analysis which I receive the value V = 0 v. I believe this is because this circuit only has dependent...

Thank you for pointing out my stupid mistakes! You saved me from going insane!

Homework Statement Homework Equations V=IZ[/B] Zc = 1/(-jwc) Zl = jwc w = 2(pi)*f The Attempt at a Solution I'm teaching myself circuit analysis, and it's been rough. Ultimately, I been able to mostly figure everything out, but I've ran into a wall with AC. The main problem I am having...

*online ;D

The goal of this problem is to find the equivalent resistance of all the resistors. Each resistor shown in the image has a conductance of 1 mS which I believe is equal to 1000 ohms. I attached a picture of the circuit diagram in which I show some of my work in order to convey my erroneous...

Greetings! I am a computer engineering, computer science and mathematics student currently taking an online 8 week circuits 1 class (long story...) and I am trying not to die. I've visited the forums many times in the past when taking physics 1 and found it quite helpful, so I figured I'd go...
