AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the differential equation for current in an auto induction circuit after a switch is opened. The user has proposed the equation (R+r)*i + L(di/dt) = 0 but is uncertain whether to include the total resistance (R+r) or just the resistance r in the equation. There is a request for clarification on the correct formulation of the differential equation. The user expresses frustration over the lack of responses to their query. The thread highlights the challenges faced in understanding circuit dynamics and the need for expert guidance.

Homework Statement


i tried to put all data in the image .

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/7443/photokg6.th.jpg

in the initial situation K was closed.in T = 0 ,K was opened.

give the differenciel equation of the courant.

The Attempt at a Solution



(R+r)*i + L (di)/(dt) = 0 .

my problem is that i don't know if we have to put (R+r)*i or only r*i in the differentiel equation of the courant .

thanks in advance for any help.

by the way,if there is something not clear in the data of the problem ,i will be happy to explain it.
 
does nobody know the solution?
 
no answer !:(

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

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 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
