    Potentiometer position problem

    Sorry I messed up the original message by trying to make it more readable. The equation should read: VL=Vs*[(x*Rp)*RL/(x*Rp)+RL]/[(x*Rp)*RL/(x*Rp)+RL]+(1-x)RL Vs] I've tried to portion the POTENTIOMETER into x*Rp and (1-x)Rp and fitted it into the voltage divider formula VL=Vs*R1/R1+R2. I...

    Can Mature Students Succeed in Distance Learning for Electrical Engineering?

    Hi everyone, I'm a mature (55 year old) distance learner student trying to catch up with my misspent younger days. I failed my TEC 5 Electronics by one subject in the 80s and never bothered to try again. Now I'm trying to get my HNC in Electrical engineering as a distance learner. The lack of an...
