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 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
