Homework Statement I have to calculate the current through each branch - I1, I2 and I3. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution The only reason I'm having trouble with this problem is because the voltage source is in the middle and I'm a little confused. I am struggling even to add up the...

Hey guys! How are you? This month I have to decide which engineering branch I want to study. The ones I like most are civil and mechanical. But I don't hate any of the other branches. My goal is possibly to become an entrepreneur and start my own business. Which one would be better? Thanks a...

Let $f(z)=z^{1/3}$ be the branch of the cube root whose domain of definition is given by $0<\theta<2\pi$, $z\neq 0$ (i.e. the branch cut is along the ray $\theta=0$.) Find $f(-i)$. Could someone please help me understand the question? I'm not too clear on "branches" and "branch cuts".

Homework Statement Find the current passing through the 5mH inductor in steady state. Homework Equations I=V/R The Attempt at a Solution Since it says steady current, so no change in current which implies that the inductors act as conductors so the current should just split equally So I...

Consider the following circuit (arrows represent current direction) : How does one determine the direction of the current in the middle branch ? Would it be correct to assume that : - if emf 1 > emf 2, current directionin middle branch is up, - if emf 2 > emf 1, current direction in middle...

I am a bit confused. Why ##\frac{1}{\sqrt{z}}## is branch point and ##\frac{1}{z}## is pole. And why we cannot use Cauchy integral theorem when we have branch point? Why we need to cut off branch point when we integrate? Thanks a lot for the answer.

The problem I want to calculate ## |I_1| ## The attempt ## V_m = Z_{total}I_1 \\ I_1 = \frac{V_m}{Z_{total}} ## ## Z_{total} = \frac{ \frac{1}{jwC }\cdot (R + jwL) }{\frac{1}{jwC} + R + jwL} \\ \frac{ R + jwL }{1 + jwCR + jwCjwL} \\ \frac{ R + jwL }{1 - w^2LC + jwCR } \\ ## ## I_1 =...

Dear fellows, I was wondering about what lies inbetween the fields of geology, chemistry and mathematics. I mean, is there a branch of study that uses the three areas? Thanks in advance. JGSeg.

In researching a planned post about M87's globular clusters, I again have been diverted. Being a rank amateur, I was studying how to use Aladin. Looking at some YouTube videos, I found this odd one, "Planet Like Object Found on ALADIN". The object looks bizarre, like the guy drew it in the...

I have always considered cosmologists to be physicists because I noticed that cosmologists usually apply (Correct me if I'm wrong) general relativity. They seem to take approaches similar to those of physicists. Astronomy is the study of celestial objects, while cosmology is the study of the...

I have lately been trying to understand branch points and branches used for complex, multivalued, functions. From doing questions and reading online, however, I get an unclear view of what branches points are. Take the function: f(z)_a = (z^2+1)^\frac{1}{2} or f(z)_b = log(z-1) Based on...

Homework Statement Hi, I need to calculate the following integral: \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}dx \frac{(\pi+\sqrt{x^2+m^2})^2(1+\cos x)}{(x^2-\pi^2)^2\sqrt{x^2+m^2}} The Attempt at a Solution I tried complexifying it: \oint dz...

I am trying to remember how to define a branch point and cut. Given the following functions: \[ f(z) = \sqrt{\frac{z}{1 - z}} \] The branch points are then \(z = 0\) and \(z = 1\) and the branch cut is the line from \((0, 1)\), correct? \[ f(z) = (z^2 - 4)^{1/3} \] Here the branch points are...

Hello, I learned that there are 4 types of approach to topology: (1) General (2) Algebraic (3) Differential (4) Geometrical To have a rough understanding of General relativity, which branch of topology should I study? Thanks.

I just completed a brief introduction to branch points in complex analysis, and I find it difficult to imagine/come up with functions with nonzero branch points. My difficulty is this: for the point to be considered a branch point, f(r,θ) and f(r,θ+2π) must be different for ANY closed path...

Guys can you tell me your favorite physics branches (even theories) i want to start reading one

I will be applying for schools soon in physics, although my bachelors is in chemistry. Although I have decided that I would rather pursue physics than chemistry in graduate school, at the moment, I do not have my heart set on any specific sub-discipline of physics. So, assuming I have absolutely...

Hello, I want to study a system, and I have realized that all variables in it are dependent. There is no independent variable. So everytime you modify the input, you get an output but at the same time that output modifies the input itself, there is an important feedback. So the system...

What is the Branch cut for the log(z) ? Correct me if I am wrong. I know that the function $f(z) = e^z$ , is periodic function with period $2 \pi $ so to define the function $\log(z) $ we have to restrict the domain of $e^z$ for example taking the points $D : z \in \mathbb{C} $ such that...

Just covered branch cuts in my undergraduate course but stuck on one of the questions... Find the domain on which f(z) = arccot(z) is single valued and analytic. Now, we've looked at ln(z) in class and I understand the principal of limiting the domain but I'm not having much success and...

Hello guys So I'm trying to model flow through a branched pipe. The equations I've used are the standard partial differential equations for a hydraulic transmission line: ∂p/∂t = -β/A * ∂q/∂x ∂q/∂t = -A/ρ * ∂p/∂x - F/ρ + g*Acos(α(x)) I've discretized and linearized these so that I can...

I was reading a paper the other day that made the following claim, and provided no reference for the assertion. I would like to find a reference or figure out how to derive the asymptotic behavior myself. The situation is as follows: Suppose we have a function ##f(z)##, defined as a power...

How does one deal with finding the branches & branch cuts of a multi-valued function of a complex variable that is itself the sum of two multi-valued functions, something like the following: f(z) = \sqrt{z} + \sqrt{1 - z} f(z) = \sqrt{z} + \sqrt{z - 1} f(z) = \sqrt{z} + \sqrt{z(z -...
