RL Circuit Discharge and RCL Circuit

AI Thread Summary
Measuring only the resistance of the resistor without considering the resistances in the inductor and function generator can lead to inaccurate calculations of inductance from the half-life measurement. This oversight may result in an underestimation of the total resistance in the circuit, affecting the derived inductance value. The formula to calculate inductance (L) from the half-life (t1/2) measurement in an RL circuit is L = -t1/2 / (R * ln(0.5)), where R is the total resistance. Accurate measurements of all resistances are crucial for precise inductance calculations. Understanding these factors is essential for effective circuit analysis and design.

In the RL Circuit Discharge and RCL Circuit, if you had only measured the resistance of your resistor and not taken into account the resistances in the inductor and function generator, how would this affect the calculated inducted from the half life measurement?

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...
