Homework Statement

Given ZV1 = ZV2 = 100Ω,
ZCCV = ZCV = 2000/j = -2000j, and
VV/VC = 0.04789.

I'm trying to get the given VV/VC result.

Homework Equations


I know that
1/ZV = 1/ZV1 + 1/ZV2 + 1/ZCV
VV = ZV / (ZV + ZCCV) * VC

The Attempt at a Solution


1/ZV = 1/ZV1 + 1/ZV2 + 1/ZCV = 1/100 + 1/100 + j/2000
|1/ZV| = √(0.022 + (1/2000)2) = 0.02
ZV = 50Ω

VV/VC = ZV / (ZV + ZCCV) = 50 / (50 - 2000j)
VC/VV = (50 - 2000j) / 50 = 1 - 40j
|VC/VV| = √(12 + 402) = 40.01
VV/VC = 1/40.01 = 0.02499
which is about half of the value I should get.

Where did I go wrong?

Can I please have a bit more hint?

The voltage through ZV1, ZV2 and CV is the same (VV), right?
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
