    Synchronous Generator Homework: Finding Required Field Current and Input Torque

    Homework Statement The Attempt at a Solution First up, part a. The first one is really simple. The generator is working at its rated voltage of 13.8kV, right? So, would the required field current not be just 225 Amps? Next, part b. To sort of explain what's going on, I first found the...

    Do These Mathematical Sequences Converge?

    Which of these converge? 1. 5n/ (2n-1) 2. e^n/ n 3. e^n/ (1+e^n) Attempt: 1) lim n-> ∞ 5n/(2n-1) = 5n/2n = 5/2 ≠ 0 so diverge? 2) Change n to x e^x/ (1 + e^x) Antiderivative: ln |1 + e^x| lim t->∞ of ln |1 + e^x| ln |1 + e^∞| - ln |1 + e^0| Got stuck here 3) Help :(

    Does the nth Term Divergence Test Conflict with the Limit Comparison Test?

    n^2 - 1 / (n^3 + 6n) If I use the nth divergence test, I plug ∞ in (limit as n -> ∞) for n and since the degree on the bottom is larger I get 0, which means it converges. However, if I use the limit comparison test and compare it to: n^2/n^3, which = 1/n, which diverges -> n^2 - 1 / (n^3 + 6n)...

    $ \sum_{n}\frac{1}{n.{n}^{\frac{1}{n}}} $ Now $\frac{1}{n}$ diverges and $\ne 0$ , so by limit comparison test: $ \lim_{{n}\to{\infty}} \frac{n.{n}^{\frac{1}{n}}}{n} = \lim_{{n}\to{\infty}} {n}^{\frac{1}{n}} = \lim_{{n}\to{\infty}} {n}^0 = 1$ (I think the 2nd last step may be dubious?)...
