AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel resistor connections. In series, resistors share the same current, leading to voltage drops that add up, while in parallel, they share the same voltage, resulting in varying currents. The forum emphasizes the need for participants to demonstrate their understanding of these concepts before receiving assistance. The relationships between voltage and current in both configurations are crucial for understanding circuit behavior. Overall, the thread encourages active engagement and effort in problem-solving.

answer these questions please..thanks...


1.) what are the advantage and disadvantages of the series and parallel connection?

2.) when resistors are connected in series in a circuit, what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistor and the currents through the resistors?

3) when resistors are connected in parallel in a circuit, what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistors and the currents through the resistors?

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'

Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
