Solution to series resistance function

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving for the function g(t) in a circuit with two series resistances, R and Rx. The user is struggling to incorporate Vx, which is essential for determining h(t) and understanding the relationship between voltage and resistance. The total voltage V across both resistors must be analyzed to find the appropriate series resistance R that yields the desired voltage V. The problem emphasizes the need to understand the fundamental principles of voltage and resistance in series circuits. Mastery of this concept is crucial for completing the solution.

Hi, I cannot solve for the function g(t) (eq. 6) in the attached figure where there are two series resistances. My solution is incomplete. I do not know how to use Vx in this solution, which is needed because it contains h(t) found in the solution.

What is the relationship between voltage and resistance in this circuit?
 
There are two series resistances, R and Rx which are in series. Vx h(t) is the voltage across the resistor Rx. There is a total V across both series resistors. That is all that is given.
 
You have been given the voltage Vx when Rx is by itself, you need to find which series resistance R will give the desired voltage V.

The problem is testing that you understand how voltage and resistance are related.
So how are they related?

This information will have been provided as part of your course.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
