Circuit analysis techniques questions

AI Thread Summary
Voltage division, current division, and source transformation are fundamental techniques in circuit analysis that are essential for real-world circuit design. While node voltage and mesh current analysis are useful, they are often considered secondary to these basic methods. Understanding and applying voltage and current division is crucial for effective circuit design and analysis. Prioritizing these techniques in study sessions is advisable, especially before a midterm. Mastery of all these concepts will enhance overall circuit analysis skills.

I just want to know if there are ever any circuits where I am required to use voltage division, or current division, source transformation, etc

will i ever be required to use them, or can i get by using node voltage and mesh current analysis?

i'm asking because i have a midterm coming up very soon and i want to prioritize on what i study. thanks

How can you get away without using voltage and current division in real world design? That is about the most fundamental thing for circuit design. All the note voltage and mesh are secondary in real life calculation! Study them all.
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
