Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around two problems related to Kirchhoff's rules, specifically focusing on a capacitor problem referred to as the "cap-monster maze" and a resistor problem termed the "res-monster maze." Participants are evaluating their answers and reasoning regarding the calculations of charge and current in these circuits.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss their interpretations of the equations related to the capacitor and resistor setups. There is a focus on verifying the correctness of calculated values for charge and current, with some questioning the units used (nano vs. micro). Others suggest reconsidering the assumptions made about the battery's contribution in the resistor maze.

Discussion Status

The discussion is active, with participants sharing their interpretations and corrections. Some guidance is offered regarding the capacitor problem, while differing opinions on the resistor problem indicate multiple interpretations are being explored. There is no explicit consensus on the answers yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants are navigating through potential unit discrepancies and the implications of battery configurations in their calculations. The informal tone suggests a collaborative yet lighthearted approach to problem-solving.

Well, the attachments says it all, the cap-monster and res-monster maze. I want to know if I made a right decision about my answer.

Cap-monster maze

ξ - q/C = 0

Then q = 60(nano)Coulomb.

Res-monster Maze

-ξ1 - ξ2 - ξ3 - ξ4 + IR = 0

I = 4A.

Am I right?

Hi Mastur! :smile:

oooh, they're fun! :biggrin:

yes (except for the nano)
Res-monster Maze

-ξ1 - ξ2 - ξ3 - ξ4 + IR = 0

nooo :wink:
 
I already got the Res-monster maze.

The problem is the one battery, which will have a positive sign. So the answer is 2A. :)

And what's with Nano? Hmm? But my answer is correct, right?

Naah, I got it. It's MICRO, not NANO, right? hahaha
 
he he he :biggrin:
 
the answer for the cap-monster cage is 15 micro coulombs. don't feel like explainin it cause I am a lazy bum but you should def trust me!

"the answer for the cap-monster cage is 15 micro coulombs. don't feel like explainin it cause I am a lazy bum but you should def trust me!"
You are wrong garbagesocray . Try considering a loop in which there is only the capacitor C and the Battery(s).
Happy Solving :)
