Kirchoff's law Definition and 66 Threads

This is the diagram given for the problem. Now I was able to identify, that the fact that the capacitance of a spherical capacitor, with one plate and the other at an infinite distance, is somehow to be used in this problem, i.e ##C= 4\pi\epsilon_0R ## IF I can replace all the spherical...

Figure 1, Figure 2 *I'm using his textbook's rule in applying KVL here: $$ \begin{aligned} 21I_1 + 4.8I_3 &= 100 &&\textrm{Loop I (clockwise)}\\ 24I_2 + 4.8I_3 &= 0 &&\textrm{Loop II (clockwise)} \\ I_1 &= I_2 + I_3 \end{aligned} $$ From the above equations, I get ##I_3 \approx 4.63\textrm{...

Does anyone know how to do part (a). I labelled the current through R1 I1, I4 through R4, I3 through R3, I2 through R2, and I5 through the 3ohm resistor. I used Kirchoff’s Laws to make the equations I1 + I4 = 8, 2I1 + 32I3 - 14I4 = 30, and I1 + I3 - I4 = 0. I solved these equations by subbing...

My initial solving method was taking 1.75A and adding the resistors at the 1st loop(4 and 8 ohms) to get the answer V=IR V=1.75(4+8) V=21V But the answer sheet uses 0.75A instead of 1.75A to find EMF of E1. So according to the answer sheet its V=0.75(4+8) V=9V 0.75A is the answer for the i)...

Hi, I'm aware it is an odd question. Consider a ##k##-terminal electrical device as black-box. We know from KLC and KLV that just ##k-1## currents and ##k-1## voltages are actually independent (descriptive currents and voltages). Furthermore we generally expect there exist ##k-1## relations...

1) Take a non-steady circuit such as an LR circuit. Why does Kirchoff's voltage law work when analyzing such a circuit? Is it because we're assuming that dI/dt and thus dB/dt are approximately zero thus meaning that curl E is approximately zero? 2) ε, the electromotive force, is the line...

I assumed the current flows from the 20V so, 20V - 100 (i1) - Ri2 = 0 First loop 20V = 100i1 + Ri2 Second loop +Ri2 + 40V - 200(0.08) = 0 Ri2 = -24 Back to equation 1 20 v = 100i1 + (-24) therefore, i 1 = 0.44 For loop two: i1 - i2 = i3 0.44 - i2 = 0.08 therefore i2 = 0.36 ohms...

Homework Statement For a black body all absorbed radiation is emitted. Kirchoff´s law states that at the same temperature T1 the emissivity and absorptivity of a surface are equal, which holds for nonblack bodies as well. So, what really differs a black body and a non-black body in this case?

Homework Statement I've recently watched a video which explains Kirchhoff's first law however, I'm not sure about his calculations. I got the same answer just wanting to make sure I am doing it right. the guy wrote L1: -75I2 +3V=0 ⇒ I2= -3/-75=0.04A He calculated L2 like -12V -125I3 +75I2=0 ⇒...
