I'm having a hard time understanding and solving problems in moderately complex RC circuits...
Please Help.

You don't have to solve right up to the numerical value, that is not my priority,

Rather If you could just explain how to begin and process through the question, It would be best.
Thanks. :)

1. I'm Posting an image of the problem.



Relevant equations and Data are given



The attempt at a solution:
Well, I knew, At initial stage capacitors act as wires, and at final state they behave as open switch/circuit.

But I just don't get it how to apply that here.!

Answers are :
1. () 4/3 V.
()-10/3 V.
()-2V.
() 3.3 x 10^-6 C.

2. 4.321 x 10^-4 Joule.

Hi FireSky! Welcome to PF! :smile:

Both questions assume that the circuit has reached steady-state.

(the second question specifically says so, the first doesn't but it doesn't make sense otherwise)

To solve 1(1) 1(2) and 1(3), just use V = IR, V = Q/C, and the formulas for adding capacitors or resistors in parallel or series …

show us what you get :smile:
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
