AI Thread Summary
Thévenin's theorem simplifies a complex circuit to a single voltage source and series resistance, making analysis easier. Norton's theorem, conversely, represents a circuit as a current source in parallel with a resistance. The superposition principle allows for the analysis of circuits with multiple sources by considering the effect of each source independently and summing the results. An example of superposition involves calculating the electric field at a point by adding the contributions from individual charged particles. Understanding these theorems is crucial for effective circuit analysis and design.

Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with the first 2 theorems, but I can explain you the superposition one.
Imagine, for instance, you have got a known amount of charged particles in space, and you would like to know the electric field at a specific point in space, you would simply add each force made by each particle on that specific place.
The superposition theorem assumes that you can handle every particle as it is alone in space and sum up all the contributions from each particle to a given point.

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'

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...
