AI Thread Summary
To find current (i) and voltage (v) in the circuit using Kirchhoff's Laws, it's essential to apply Kirchhoff's second law correctly. The voltage across the current source is equivalent to the voltage across the 6-ohm resistor, which is crucial for calculations. The proposed voltage formula, v=[4/(4+6)]*14 V, is a valid approach to determine the voltage drop. Additionally, applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) can provide further insights into the circuit's behavior. Understanding both laws is key to solving for i and v effectively.

I have to find i and v in the figure.I first tried using Kirchhoff's second law but then I noticed that in the current 4 A I don't have a potential...How can I apply current and potential division here?
Will it look smth like v=[4/(4+6)]*14 V?

You do "have a potential". The voltage across the current source is the same as the voltage across the 6 ohm resistor but does that help.

Have you applied KCL?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
