Finding the Open Circuit Voltage

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the open circuit voltage between points XY after the connection is removed while KLM points remain connected. Participants express difficulty in solving the problem and seek guidance on how to approach it. Key equations mentioned include V=IR and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL). Clarifications are provided regarding the potential at points X and Y, emphasizing the importance of understanding current flow and potential definitions. The conversation highlights the need for accurate calculations and understanding of circuit principles to determine the potential difference.

So show us what you tried. We can use that to help guide your approach better. We do not do your work for you here.

Here is how I tried. I don't know how to solve further. I don't know how to calculate the potential difference between those points.

I'm sorry for not understanding how things work here.

I don't know how to find the potential difference between those points. So I can't slove further.

I'm sorry for not understanding how things work here.
 
Since you defined ABC as 0 potential, what is the potential at point Y? Recall that you said there is no current through R3.
Using similar reasoning can you find the potential at point X? What do you need to know to calculate the potential at point X?

Note: your current calculation is off by 1,000,000 times. Except for the sign error it's correct.
 

Thread 'Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force'

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

Thread 'Speed of moth related to Doppler Effect'

I treat this question as two cases of Doppler effect. (1) When the sound wave travels from bat to moth Speed of sound = 222 x 1.5 = 333 m/s Frequency received by moth: $$f_1=\frac{333+v}{333}\times 222$$ (2) When the sound wave is reflected from moth back to bat Frequency received by bat (moth as source and bat as observer): $$f_2=\frac{333}{333-v}\times f_1$$ $$230.3=\frac{333}{333-v}\times \frac{333+v}{333}\times 222$$ Solving this equation, I get ##v=6.1## m/s but the answer key is...
