AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for help with an electromagnetism problem related to power consumption of an appliance when switching from a 120 V outlet in Canada to a 240 V outlet in the UK. Participants emphasize the importance of showing effort in problem-solving before receiving assistance. The original problem statement was edited by the original poster, leading to confusion and a lack of clarity in the discussion. The thread ultimately concludes without a resolution due to the missing information and the OP's decision to edit their post. The conversation highlights the necessity of adhering to homework guidelines for effective assistance.

When I first replied, there was a problem statement about an electrical appliance that consumes 800 W when connected to a 120 V outlet in Canada. The question was how much power it would consume in the UK where the outlets are 240 V. There were five choices, all in kW, which I don't remember except for the correct one which can be easily reconstructed and "zero" which means that Canadian appliances in the UK would be useless.

It seems that OP replaced the statement of the problem with "nevermind", but the post was not stamped as having been edited. Oh well.

Yeah, he edited it right away, so there is no "History" link in his post that I can see. Thread is closed.

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
