Resistors Definition and 598 Threads

In electrical circuit there are three resistors and a battery connected in series. After the first two resistors, there is a point connected to the ground. Why is the voltage difference between the ground point and the positive of the battery not 10 volts? In that circuit, I think that the...

From the graph: $$lnR(T)=\frac{-lnR(0)T^2_○}{T^2}+lnR(0)$$ I have assumed ##R(0)## to be the value of ##R## at ##1/T^2=0## and ##T_○## to be the value of ##T## at ##lnR(T)=0## From this I get, $$R(T)=e^{lnR(0)×\left(1-\frac{T_○^2}{T^2}\right)}$$ $$R(T)=R(0)^{\left(1-\frac{T_○^2}{T^2}\right)}$$...

Attached is the example I am working out of a textbook that involves using the Loop Current Method on a bridge circuit. In the pictures attached I am following section 1.6.2 which produces loop equations (1.24) for figure 1.9. Figure 1.7 provides the direction of current. I am having trouble...

Suppose the switch has been closed for a long time so that the capacitor is fully charged and current is constant. a)Find the current in each resistor and charge Q of the capacitor. b)The switch is now opened at t=0s. Write the equation for the current for the resistor of 15kΩ as a function of...

Since the slope of the I versus V graph is equal to 1/R, I set Rtot equal to 0.168. So then I subtracted 1/0.168 by 1/9 and got 1/R1 =5.841. I then found R1 equal to 1/5.841 or 0.171 but it said I was wrong. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Summary:: Hi anyone can explain me how to solve this circuit, finding the current I2 and I1? Really don't know where to start Thanks

Hi guys I am struggling to find the power dissipated in the total circuit , my answer didn't match the solution in the book the circuit is simple i used Kirchhoffs rules to find the following : loop 1 : $$10-10I_{1}-40I_{3} = 0$$ loop 2: $$20-20I_{2}-40I_{3} = 0$$ and $$ I_{1}+I_{2}=I_{3}$$...

I did try redrawing the circuit at steady state , but I'm not really sure. I have attached the circuit that I tried drawing, I assumed the branch with the capacitors to be absent at steady state since current won't flow through them anyway. With this diagram I get the correct answer for Q 19 ...

The question is to find the resistance between points A and F. I understand that the resistor between OC can be removed. From this point onwards, resistor OC has been removed. Let the far right point of the diagram, where i5 and i7 exit from, be B. Is it possible to detach the remaining...

I'm trying to grasp the basics here, we know Us = 70 V and I want to find out the currents I1 and I2 through the resistors R1, respectively R2. I just need the steps explained, not necessarily the results, please. Thanks in advance!

So basically I am trying to give an output of Vo = 10(V2-V1) From Figure 9 Example Gain of first Op Amp = Rf / R1, if R1 & R2 are equal. What's throwing me off is using 5 resistors to create a circuit rather than 6 or just 3. My initial thoughts were the following: To use the first loop...

I’m doing a project with my Arduino, and I’ve seen some tutorials on YouTube explaining how to use pull up or pull down resistors to make the input values on the board reliable, basically either a 0 or a 1 without any random changes from other em sources. The only thing is I still don’t...

I am lookin designing balancing resistors for series capacitors and understand that I need to consider the leakage current from the capacitors. I am trying to determine factors that would case the insulation resistance to decrease over time so I can design around that.

I have attached a small excerpt from my digital book where they start talking about emf. I am very confused. Let me explain what is confusing to me so that you can clear up what's bothering me. They start of by saying that an emf device pumps charges by maintaining a potential difference...

Hey, I am struggling a bit, als I try to solve this problem - I‘d say all five statements are correct, but it is said, that one must be incorrect

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...

Hey everyone! Had an attempt at this circuit question, but wanted to check if I got the set up right in order to find the current in the 3rd wire? Here is what I have done Thanks!

I've gotten to the point where I've hit a roadblock and am not sure what step to take next. I started by using KCL on the bottom node as suggested by the problem, then used KVL on the left mesh, but I still have ##i_{v_s}## which I'm not sure what to equate it to, so that I can pull it out of...

I honestly have no idea how to do this problem whatsoever. My teacher didn't show an example like this before.

Now, I know this question can be solved using Kirchoff Voltage rule, but the question expliciitly wants me to use power supplied = power absorbed. Hence taking V0 to be x, I can't still seem to calculate. Any ideas? Power supplied = (60)(3) + (5x)(3) = 180+15x Power absorbed = 72+ 56 +28 + 3x...

Struggling to see if I am doing this right or not from a section of a question I have been given I have drawn out a sketch of the circuit again, and labelled as to what my 1st and 2nd closed loop to be to then apply Kirchhoff's 2nd law I get a negative I_2 current which just indicates that...

I see that ##V_{ac}=V_{ab}+V_{bc}##, with ##V_{ab}=I_1R_1=I_2R_2## and ##V_{bc}=I_3R_3##. However, I don't see how to express mathematically the maximum value of ##V_{ac}##. Could someone please help me with this task?

1. Would k be p/π? (since resistivity of a material is a constant property and π is a constant) I understand that typically R = pL/A Therefore, would the equation be R = k(x/(d/2^2)) Confessedly, I truly am baffled.2. R total = sum of individual resistors (in series) R total = R1 + R2+R3...+Rn...

In my attempt, I tried 1) I1 = I2 + I3 Then set up these two equations based on Kirchhoff's second rule: 2) U1 = R1 (I2) + R3 (I3) and 3) U1 + U2 = R1 (I1) + R2 (I3). From what we have 10 = 0.1* I_2 + 0.2 * I_3 22 = 0.1* I_2 + 0.02*I_3 I_3 = 50 - 0.5 I_2 That means I_2 = 233.3 A I_3 = -66.7A...

Summary:: Choosing the direction of the loop and the current I am attempting to work out Example 1 in the link provided. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/physics/chapter/21-3-kirchhoffs-rules/ When solving for loop aefgh, I get: I1R1-I3R3-I3r2-E2 =0 I chose the current to continue to move...

To solve this question first I calculated the potential energy the capacitor A stored. It's equal a: Ca.V²/2. Ok, so when switch S1 is open and S2 is closed I calculated the equivalent capacitance as if they were in series --> 1/Ceq = 1/Ca + 1/Cb --> Ceq = (Ca.Cb)/(Ca+Cb). So I used the formula...

I need to create a powersupply that takes in a +5 and -5v and has an adjustable output that varies between -2 and +2 v using one potentiometer. I already came up with a design myself but it did not work. I need some help figuring this out. I think my idea for how to get specific positive or...

My attempt at a solution: I can see the two resistors at the bottom are in parallel as shown on the circuit diagram attached, but I'm failing to understand why there's a third resistor in parallel. So I made it one effective resistance as R/2. Then I proceded to think the circuit short circuits...

Can somebody explain this please? I don't understand this.

I’ve included an image of a solution to a problem from my textbook. Part of the problem is to find the equivalent resistance of the given circuit. In the solution they seem to be treating the resistors as if they were in parallel. I don’t understand why they are doing this. For the two...

I already did part a and got the correct answer of 4.8 microC. However, I am unsure how to approach part b, where the switch is closed and apparently the two capacitors end up with different charges. For part b, since there is a path between the two capacitors, I don't know if I am able to...

here is the question below with all the possible answers, if anyone can help it would be appreciated

Given that they're all on the same branch, I had assumed that they were in series with one another. But with the middle resistor having being on the middle of three branches, it looks parallel. Like I said, I have a feeling it's in series (making the answer 3R). This question is from a past...

I tried to solve it by removing the voltmeter and simplifying it to just one resistor, then calculate the individual volts and then the deltaV, but still didn't found the answer, can you guys help me?
