Internal resistance seen by the voltage source, Vx?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the resistance seen by a voltage source in an op-amp configuration, with the expected answer being 3 kΩ. The user seeks clarification on how to arrive at this value. Participants suggest marking the current direction and magnitude in the circuit to better understand the relationships between the resistors. The conversation emphasizes the importance of analyzing the circuit systematically to determine the equivalent resistance. Overall, the thread aims to clarify the calculation process for the resistance in the given op-amp setup.

Hi everyone,

I have attached an image of the op-amp configuration (all op-amps are ideal). Basically, the question asks to calculate the resistance seen through the voltage source. The answer is 3 kΩ but I just don't understand how this is found. If someone could assist me, I would really appreciate it.

(By the way, I mean just resistance in the title, not internal resistance)

Cheers

You have labelled the current flowing in that top 1k resistor as Ix. Using the notation you have established, now mark in the magnitude and direction of the current in each of the other 4 input resistors.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
