    Circuit Thevenin
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the voltage-current equation in the context of a Thevenin circuit. The Thevenin resistance is confirmed at 15 ohms, with an open circuit voltage of 30 V and a short circuit current of 2 A. There is confusion regarding whether the "voltage-current equation" refers to Ohm's Law. Participants suggest expressing the relationship between output voltage and output current, potentially by introducing a voltage source to measure the resulting current. Clarifying this equation is crucial for solving the homework problem effectively.

Homework Equations




The Attempt at a Solution



The Thevenin resistance is 15 ohms, voltage open circuit 30 V and the short current circuit is 2 A. You can take these for granted, I've confirmed with a friend.

I really don't know what they mean by "voltage-current equation", are they talking about Ohms law?

Write an expression that relates the output voltage to the output current (or current vs voltage).

Consider sticking a voltage source on the output and "measuring" the resulting current.
 

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'

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...
