Circuits Question - Voltage and current in an inductor circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating voltage and current in an inductor circuit, specifically using the equivalent impedance (Zeq) formula. The user has determined that there are 2 Amps entering the circuit but is uncertain about the next steps in the analysis. They note that since the circuit is DC, the frequency (f) is zero, leading to a specific form of Zeq. The user provides expressions for voltage and current over time, seeking further guidance on how to proceed with their calculations. Clarification on the next steps in solving the circuit equations is requested.

The Attempt at a Solution



I found Zeq and there are exactly 2 Amps going into it. I'm not sure what to do from here.

Z_{eq} = \frac{<(arctan(\frac{R}{ωL}))}{ω^{2}L^{2}+R^{2}}

I'm not sure what to do from here, thanks for any help.

Ok so because this is DC

ω = 2∏f

but f= 0

so

Z_{eq} = \frac{j}{R^{2}}

Where do I go from here?
 


vL(t) = 120e-2500t

iL(t) = 2 + 6e-2500t

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...
