AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving a circuit problem using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to find the values of resistance (R) and electromotive force (e). The user calculated R to be 3.2 ohms but found e to be 0 volts, which they find unusual. They assumed infinite resistance for the voltmeter and zero resistance for the ammeter in their calculations. The request for assistance emphasizes the need to show the work done to arrive at these results before receiving help. The conversation highlights the importance of demonstrating problem-solving steps in circuit analysis.

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...
