AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving an LC circuit problem using Kirchhoff's loop rule, where a 300-V power supply charges a 25-μF capacitor before it is connected to a 10-mH inductor. Participants emphasize the importance of showing effort in homework questions to receive tutorial help. The user has calculated the natural angular frequency, finding a frequency of 320 Hz and a period of 3.1 ms, and is seeking guidance specifically on applying Kirchhoff's rule. Clarification on Kirchhoff's loop rule is requested to better understand its application in this context. The conversation highlights the necessity of demonstrating initial attempts in problem-solving for effective assistance.

Homework Statement
A 300-V dc power sup- ply is used to charge a 25-μF capacitor. After the capacitor is fully charged, it is disconnected from the power supply and connected across a 10-mH inductor (at t = 0).
(a) Assume that the resistance in the circuit is negligible. Apply Kirchhoff’s loop rule to to find the capacitor charge, q(t), and the current, i(t).
Find the frequency and period of oscillation of the circuit. Find the magnetic energy and elec- tricenergyatt=0andt=1.2ms.
Relevant Equations
How do I use Kirchoff's rule here?

Relevant Equations: How do I use Kirchoff's rule in this example?
I calculated natural angular frequency, got f=320 Hz and T =1/f =3.1 ms
I also know how to calculate magnetic and electric energy having I and q
I just need help with the Kirchoff's rule.

What is Kirchoff’s loop rule as you understand it?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
