AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether the current for path AB is zero due to the absence of enclosed current. Participants agree that since there is no enclosed current for path AB, the current should indeed be zero. Additionally, it is noted that the question does not require calculating the integral around a closed path. The focus remains on the interpretation of current in relation to the specified path. This conclusion reinforces the understanding of current flow in circuit analysis.

Since there is no enclosed current for path AB, shouldn't it just be 0?
Thanks!

The question does not ask for the integral around the closed path.
 
Thank you!
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
