Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product. It most commonly refers to the open-source model, in which open-source software or other products are released under an open-source license as part of the open-source-software movement. Use of the term originated with software, but has expanded beyond the software sector to cover other open content and forms of open collaboration.
in this article on Ars Technica, Microsoft has released the source code to the Calc.exe app

Here's my work :
When I add the DC current source , it shows a red dotted line and won't connect to other elements .
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Dear Forum Members,,
I would like to learn photovoltaics. There are some parameters like V(open circuit), Ishort, fill factor etc. And also i would like to learn the graph of intensity to Voc and Ishort. Could you suggest me to which source i need to look?
Thanks
Alright. So I'm getting two different solutions depending on how I look at this problem, and I know one is correct but I don't know why the other would be incorrect. So, given this general circuit of a constant current source driving an RC circuit in parallel:

My question is about the speed of light. Our current understanding of light says that light is constant for all observers, and uses time dilation to explain this. Have we proven this? The speed of light emitted from a stationary object is equal to C. The speed of light emitted from a moving...

Earth is moving through space. If I throw a ball straight up, it falls down to me and is not left behind. This is obviously because it already carries the momentum of Earth's movement. But if I fire a photon straight up, does it also carry a velocity component in direction of Earth's movement...
