    Engineering Finding the constraint equation of a circuit with a dependent voltage

    What I’m stuck on is finding the constraint equation for i on the top question . I don’t know how to find it when it’s through a voltage source and not over any resistors. (I can’t use ohm‘s law) After I find i the problem should become easy to solve. I know that v1 = 10 and v2 = 20i . The KCL...

    How Can I Broadcast a Message Into Outer Space Using Radio Waves?

    Hello! I have been thinking of broadcasting a message into outer space. It sounds silly, I know, but that's just something I'd like to do for and with my niece. She's 8 years old and very interested in physics (as far as she understands it). I have some knowledge in electronics, I think I...

    Discussing primary resistance of a double-tuned ciruit

    Hi friends, My question... At non resonance frequencies the resistance of primary is minimum or maximum? My analysis... There are two tuned circuit tuned to same frequency . In primary circuit at low frequency XL is low and large amount of current will flow at the inductor L1, now due to this...

    Engineering How do I find the current in this circuit?

    < Moderator Note -- thread moved from the EE forum to the Homework Help forums > Please view the attached. The answers are: i1 0.1429 i2 0.4286 i3 0.2857 So how do I work this out? I assume you use kirchhoffs current law, can someone show me the step? Thanks :)

    Solving Capacitive Circuit: Why is 8.35V Wrong?

    Reference to question 2 part (ii). I found out that: Qt =V x Ct Qt=50 x 1.67 x 10-6 Qt=83.5 x 10-6 I understand that in a series circuit for capacitor Qt=Q1=Q2=Q3 So if that's the case, looking at the circuit, since C2 and C3 are in series, their charge should be 83.5 x 10-6 since...

    A.C. Ciruit without current flowing

    hi there, In a.c. circuit, avery half circle, the current changes it direction. If u increase it, the changing rate is faster. So, this come to my mind, can u stop teh current from flowing by using very very very high frequency? That is the changing of direction of flow of electron is too rapid...
