Click For Summary
To find zeta and alpha in an RLC circuit, one must analyze the circuit's parameters, including resistance, inductance, and capacitance. Zeta (ζ) represents the damping ratio, while alpha (α) is the exponential decay rate, both crucial for understanding circuit behavior. A common approach involves deriving the differential equation governing the circuit and matching it to standard forms. Users are encouraged to clarify their understanding of these terms and provide circuit specifics for accurate assistance. Ultimately, grasping the relationship between zeta and alpha is essential for analyzing circuit dynamics effectively.

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
