Are these circuits equivalent?

AI Thread Summary
The two circuits discussed are equivalent, as confirmed by participants. To analyze them using Kirchhoff's voltage law, establishing a ground potential is recommended. The voltage across the capacitor and resistor is identical due to their parallel arrangement. Some contributors express that the circuits may not provide significant instructional value. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the application of Kirchhoff's law in understanding the relationships between the voltages in the circuits.

Hi
Are the two (attached) circuits equivalent?

Also, what if any are the relation between the voltages? (ie. V_c, V_R and V_1-V_2)
How would we apply Kirchhoff's voltage law?

thanks,

yes, the circuits are equivalent! To apply Kirchhoff's voltage law to the circuit in the picture Circuit.JPG it would be helpful to add the ground potential!

Because the capacitor and the resistor are parallel their voltage drop is the same!

I think these circuits are not very instructive!

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
