Resistors/Battery Circuit solving. Maybe superposition

AI Thread Summary
To solve the resistor and battery circuit problem, start by applying Kirchhoff's Junction Rule to analyze current at junctions and Kirchhoff's Loop Rule for voltage around loops. Superposition can be useful if multiple sources are present, but understanding the basic rules is essential first. The equation V = IR is fundamental for calculating voltage, current, and resistance in the circuit. Clarifying these principles will help in structuring the solution effectively. Mastering these concepts is crucial for successfully solving circuit problems.

V = IR


The Attempt at a Solution



I don't even know how to begin. Am I supposed to use superposition? I rad about it online but don't know how to apply it.

The problem text guides you. Apply Kirchhoff's Junction Rule first then Kirchhoff's Loop Rule.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

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 hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
