    Electricity: voltage calculation in serial

    Let I be the current through the circuit. The V to the drop at 2R and 6R, so 2RI + 6RI = 80 8RI = 80 RI = 10 For the whole circuit, U - 3RI - 2RI - 6RI - 4RI = 0 Try to take it from there!

    Magnetic flux through a rectangular loop inside a wire

    Homework Statement Homework Equations Magnetic flux = integral(B dot dA) line integral(B dot ds) = (u_o)(i_enc) (Ampere's Law) The Attempt at a Solution I can't see how Ampere's law applies because all of the magnetic field vectors along the loop will be perpendicular to that stretch of...

    Dealing with two circuits connected by adjacent inductors

    Homework Statement Here is the problem: Homework Equations Typical RL circuit equations. The Attempt at a Solution My main question with this problem is figuring out what to do with the third resistor, the one on the right. Initially, I thought of using RL circuit equations with the left...

    RC Multiloop Circuits, Find Current at Specific Time

    I don't think the circuit starts at steady state because the capacitor is initially uncharged.

    RC Multiloop Circuits, Find Current at Specific Time

    OK, I think it's starting to make sense. The potential across E2 can't change when the switch it closed, so open or closed, I can ignore E1 and R1? Then I use Thevenin?

    RC Multiloop Circuits, Find Current at Specific Time

    Can I use a Thevenin approach for a question like this? I'm trying to use information from this website: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chpt-16/complex-circuits/ Thanks for all of your help and patience!

    RC Multiloop Circuits, Find Current at Specific Time

    Hello! Thanks for the welcome! I think it will? E1 will push more current to the right of E2? I tried another approach using Thevenin equivalent circuits. I got E(Thevenin) = 3.33 V and R(Thevenin) = 13.33 ohms. Then I would just use an RC circuit with those values of E and R?

    RC Multiloop Circuits, Find Current at Specific Time

    Homework Statement Homework Equations For a basic RC circuit during charging: q = CV(1-e-t/RC) i = V/R (e-t/RC) The Attempt at a Solution I can solve basic RC circuits but this is just out of my realm of understanding. I can also find the max charge of the capacitor. I'm not looking for...
