AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the internal wiring of a three-scale voltmeter and calculating the resistances R1, R2, and R3 for different voltage ranges (3.00 V, 15.0 V, and 150 V). Participants emphasize the need to apply Ohm's Law (V = I/R) and the relationship between the coil current and resistance (Vcoil = IgRcoil) to solve the problem. The main objective is to determine the overall resistance of the voltmeter for each specified voltage range. Clarification is sought on the exact problem statement to ensure accurate calculations. The conversation highlights the importance of precise problem articulation for effective troubleshooting.

Can someone please help me out with this problem? I am not sure if what I am doing

question:
The figure below shows the internal wiring of a "three-scale" voltmeter whose binding posts are marked , 3.00 V, 15.0 V, and 150 V. When the meter is connected to the circuit being measured, one connection is made to the post marked + and the other to the post marked with the desired voltage range. The resistance of the moving coil is Rg, and a current of I in the coil causes it to deflect full scale.

we know v=i/r and Vcoil=IgRcoil

dont know where to begin

What is required in the problem?
 
sorry forgot to mention that. you have to find R1, R2, R3. Also find the overall resistance of the meter on a 3.00, 15.0, 150 V-range
 
Why don't you state the entire text of the problem, verbatum? It should have a question mark somewhere to be answered.
 
What is R1, R2, R3 and what is the overall resistance of the meter on a 3.00, 15.0, 150 V-range? that what its asking

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
