GAIN and IMPEDANCE of a complex Circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the gain of a complex circuit, with a focus on the impedance represented by Z. The formula for Z is provided as Z = [jwL + (R/jwC)]/(R + 1/jwC), but clarification is sought on its correctness. Participants emphasize that Z represents impedance, not voltage, and that the gain should be calculated as the output voltage divided by the input voltage. The correct relationship for gain is established as the magnitude of the ratio of Zab to Z. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurate circuit analysis and gain calculation.

I am supposed to calculate the gain of the circuit given in the attachment. I have attached it in a word file.

Z is the generic term for the effective resistance. I get that Z is

Z = [jwL +(R/jwC)]/(R+1/jwC)

Can someone tell me if this is correct?

Also, now for the gain, it is supposed to output Voltage/input voltage. For this example, is Z the output voltage and jwL + Z the input voltage ?

To view the attachment, just click on it and say open.

Any help would be really useful.

Thanks, James
 
Zab=(R/jwC)/(R+1/jwC),

Z = [jwL +(R/jwC)/(R+1/jwC)]



Also, now for the gain, it is supposed to output Voltage/input voltage. For this example, is Z the output voltage and jwL + Z the input voltage ?

GRRRRRR. Z is impedance, not voltage. The output voltage is Vo * Zab/Z. So the gain is the magnitude of Zab/Z.

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...
