Kirchhoff law Definition and 25 Threads

I tried setting up 4 equations using Kirchoffs laws, but the current source is throwing me off, as i dont know wether to include it in the loop, and if it would be smart to transform it into a voltage source. The equations i have so far are: I1 + I2 + I3 = I(R3) I(R3) = I1 + I4 I4 = I2 + I3 U1 =...

Battery and Capacitor For a battery (or capacitor), the potential increases by ##\mathcal{E}## (or ##\displaystyle\frac{q}{C}##) as we move from -ve to +ve terminal (or plate) regardless of the direction of the assumed current. Resistor and Inductor Suppose we are traversing the loop in the...

Homework Statement:: Sand is rough and black so it is a good absorber and radiator of heat depending on temperature. During the day, sand's radiation of the sun's energy superheats the air and causes temperatures to soar. But, at night most of the heat in the sand quickly radiates into the air...

In my lecture, it was explained that Kirchhoff's Rule is used when circuits are too "complicated" to simplify by combining resistances in series and parallel. I do not understand in which cases I can simplify circuits by combining resistances, and on which cases I can only use Kirchoff's Rule...

In this circuit, I have to find the potential at point O. I tried using Kirchhoff's voltage law for the three open loops AOC, AOB and BOC to arrive at potential at O. According to my calculations the potential at O should be 0, but that is not the case according to the source. So I must be using...

Hi, Please find attached below the Induction Generator circuit. I have the following parameters: Parameter Value Rs = Rr (Resistance on stator and rotor) 0.2 Ω Ls = Lr (inductance on stator and rotor) 5 mH = 0.005 H p (number of pairs of poles) 2 f (frequency) 60 Hz Vsl (stator line...

Find the supply voltage of a ladder circuit shown, so that I=7A. Assume R=11Ω. (The unit must be placed) Hello, everyone. Please, help me with this. Could someone explain to me how to solve such tasks. I literally spent the whole day watching Khan Academy and trying to figure out how to solve...

It's ABCD question with answers attached. Problem is that, I don't think that neither of those are correct. From KVL the equation seems to be i = (E2-E1)/(2r1+2r2 + R). I've attached images of the circuit, answers, and my solution. Can someone please point me if I am wrong, and if yes, where's...

Equivalent capacitance before and after remains the same. Now the 10F capacitor (which was initially connected in parallel with 20F) would have 30 C charge. Hence an additional 20C must have been supplied to it. The only path which may supply the charge is through battery. However this leads...

The Kirchhoff law of dependence of energy emitted from a blackbody only on wave length and temperature was demonstrated by Kirchhoff in a paper in the year 1859. The paper is in german naturally but I found it translated in english in a book of prof. Brace in 1901. A lot of time ago. But my...
