AC Circuit with possibly nodal analysis

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving an AC circuit problem using nodal analysis and impedance equations for capacitors and inductors. Participants highlight issues with the original equations, particularly the incorrect representation of voltage and impedance calculations. It is confirmed that the impedance for the capacitor (Zc) is -200i and that the generator voltage is 300 V at 0 degrees. The importance of adhering to Kirchhoff's current law, which states that the sum of currents at a node must equal zero, is emphasized. The conversation concludes with a commitment to improve the clarity of future submissions.

I thought something like that might do and then just do a matrix and solve for Va, but I am having second thoughts seems like I am over doing it.

Your handwriting is hardly readable. Why don't you type in your work?

Check your writing if it is at least dimensionally correct.

Zc is wrong.

Voltage divided by impedance can not be voltage, so your equation for Va and Vb are wrong.
Check what impedances are parallel / series.

If you use complex impedance, use also the complex form of the voltage.

Because that would take me the whole night.

Sorry both equations are suppose to equal to zero, kirchhoffs current law, right ?

For Zc, would it be -200i ?

and the voltage as 300 @ 0 degrees ?

this is what I was basing myself on if its any help.

I see you consider your time more dear than the time of your helpers.

Yes, Zc=-200i.

Yes, the sum at a node is zero.

Yes, the generator voltage is 300 V @ 0 degrees.

Alright thank you, sorry for the crappy handwriting ill type it out next time
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
