Do I need to know related rates for electrical engineering?

AI Thread Summary
Understanding related rates is essential for electrical engineering, particularly in calculus applications. Related rates involve differentiating to determine how one variable changes in relation to another, which can be crucial in analyzing electrical systems. While not always explicitly required, familiarity with these concepts can enhance problem-solving skills in engineering contexts. Many electrical engineering problems may indirectly involve related rates, making it beneficial to grasp the underlying principles. Mastery of related rates can provide a stronger foundation for tackling complex engineering challenges.

What do you mean by related rates?
 
Like when you differentiate in calculus to find the rate of one thing in comparison to another.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
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 '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...
