AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a two-node circuit problem by determining the voltage between the nodes and expressing currents in terms of Il. Participants emphasize using Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Ohm's Law to analyze the circuit. One user successfully calculated the currents Ix and Il but noted they were actual values rather than functions. Suggestions include using nodal analysis for simplification and combining parallel current sources to streamline the problem. The conversation encourages sharing work for further guidance and clarification.

Homework Statement


Treat the circuit as a two node problem and determine the voltage between the nodes.
Express Ix and the current through the 6k resistor in terms (as functions) of the current Il and use KCL


Homework Equations


KCL and ohms laws


The Attempt at a Solution



I used KCL to fin the currents of Ix and Il and the current I going through the resistor 6k. but all of them were actual values. I found the voltage drop across the 6k resistor which is the voltage for the whole circuit sense it is in parallel.

Show your work and we will tell you where you are going right or wrong.
 


use nodal anaylsis, since the voltage across all of them is the same. Show us what you tried, and we will try to help
 


You could combine all the parallel current sources together to simplify the circuit tremendously.
 
Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
