    Are these two inverse Laplace transform solutions equivalent?

    Correction: The given solution was y=3e^(2t)+5e(-2t). I understand how he got this by using partial fractions, I would just like to know if the two functions are equivalent or if there was a mistake.

    Are these two inverse Laplace transform solutions equivalent?

    Homework Statement Y=(8s-4)/(s²-4) Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I rearranged the right side as: 8*(s/(s²-2²))-2*(2/(s²-2²)) Using the Laplace transform chart given in the class I was able to identify these as the transforms of hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine making the...

    Calculating Capacitance in Closed Loop Circuits

    Homework Statement Homework Equations C=Δq/VThe Attempt at a Solution So part a: The capacitance of 3 should be the difference in charge of b and a divided by the voltage of the circuit? C3=(14μC-6μC)/12V =6.67*10-7 F This was wrong...

    Net electric field of a charged arc

    So if U am understanding this correctly then it is the added sine values of the two angles created when drawing the vector for the field?

    Net Electric Field Homework Solution

    Homework Statement Homework Equations E=kq/r2 The Attempt at a Solution So i decided to do decouple the x and y values to make it simpler For Ex It became apparent through the geometry and charges that there would be no net field in the x direction For Ey: k/r2*...

    Magnitude and angle of an electric field vector

    I understand that the function cannot determine the quadrant of the angle and just assumes that it is in the first two quadrants. I also understand that this particular would be in the third quadrant. I suppose that what I am having trouble with is if it is asking for θ being the blue, yellow...

    Magnitude and angle of an electric field vector

    Homework Statement The electric potential at points in an xy plane is given by V = (1.5 V/m2)x2 -(2.9 V/m2)y2. What are (a) the magnitude of the electric field at the point (3.9 m, 2.9 m) and (b) the angle that the field there makes with the positive x direction. Homework EquationsThe Attempt...
