    Surface Element Conversion for Flux Through Uncapped Cylinder

    Okay. Just curious though, how would I perform that conversion in a less trivial case?

    Surface Element Conversion for Flux Through Uncapped Cylinder

    I believe the answer should be a multiplied by the surface area, but I a unsure how to properly evaluate the integral, converting dS to be in terms of dt and dh.

    Surface Element Conversion for Flux Through Uncapped Cylinder

    Homework Statement In the attached image. Homework Equations Gradient(x, y, z) * <f, g, h> = <fx, gy, hz> The Attempt at a Solution Because the cylinder's not capped, I know that all the flux will be in the radial direction. So, I can find a normal vector by finding the gradient of the...

    Engineering Impulse Response of an RLC Circuit

    Wait, so why would δ(t) delay one second? Wouldn't δ(t-1), delay a second, because that's when the impulse would occur?

    Engineering Impulse Response of an RLC Circuit

    So, the Laplace Transform is just e^0 = 1. If you meant when I asked if it at t=1, I was more making sure I understood the more general case. By "frequency of the signal," I meant that s would be the variable, so the magnitude of the impulse response would be dependent on s. Did I misunderstand...

    Engineering Impulse Response of an RLC Circuit

    2q'' + 16q' + 50q = 9(1 - U(t-2)) So, we just apply the Laplace Transform to 2q'' + 16q' + 50q = 9? How would we then solve for q(t), to account for U? Or do we only omit the unit step function when determining whether it's damped (i.e. only take the Laplace Transform of the left of the above...

    Engineering Impulse Response of an RLC Circuit

    Based off my formula for Q(s) poles exist at s=0 and two complex roots (-4+3i & -4-3i). The complex roots suggest underdamped. Does the simple pole at 0 impact this?

    Engineering Impulse Response of an RLC Circuit

    I know in the time domain, over-damped means a real, non-repeating root, under means imaginary root, and critical means real, repeating root. Underdamped will oscillate, the rest decay (same way as the exponential curve), but they will usually converge to some value. However, I'm not really...

    Engineering Impulse Response of an RLC Circuit

    Okay, so the reason the Laplace Transform of the impulse is 1 at zero is because it occurs at t=0, right? If it occurred at t=1, it'd be e^-s, correct? Then, the Impulse will be a function of s (dependent on what the frequency of the signal is, assumed to be at t=0, because that's when the...

    Engineering Impulse Response of an RLC Circuit

    I still don't get it. There's no delta function, which means there's never an instantaneous impulse. Or is the answer simply the transfer function (e.g. Laplace Transform of the above equation)?

    Engineering Impulse Response of an RLC Circuit

    I bolded the portions I need help with. 1. Homework Statement A series circuit consists of a resistor with a resistance of 16 ohms, an inductor with inductance of 2 H, and a capacitor with a capacitance of 0.02 F. At time t = 0 there is no charge on the capacitor and no current in the circuit...

    What Happens to the Current Through an Inductor When the Switch Opens?

    Okay, so in that case it'd be minus then. So: i'' + 10i' - 25i = 0 s^2 + 10s - 25 = 0 s = -10/2 +/- sqrt(100-4(-25))/2 s = 5 +/- sqrt(200)/2 s = 12.071 or -2.0711 i(t) = Ae^(12.071t) + Be^(-2.0711t) i(0) = 3 = A + B B = 3 - A Now: 10 - 5 + i' = 10 i' = 5 i'(t) = 12.071Ae^(12.071t) -...

    What Happens to the Current Through an Inductor When the Switch Opens?

    This is the way I typically do these types: 1) Take the derivative, giving a second order differential equation. Find i (the roots of which will be real and unequal, real and equal, or complex). 2) Solve for i(0), which will give an equation involving the two constants. 3) Take the first...

    Vibration Problem: Determine Period

    How would that be done? Initially the energy in the system would be the spring energy and perhaps relative gravitational energy. However, how would that be related to period?
