A student in PY106 decides to build a rather strange
circuit using two batteries (9 V and 3 V) and two
resistors (1 Q and 2 Q) as shown in the figure below.
They want to calculate the current flowing around this
circuit (in the direction shown in the figure) but are not
quite sure how to start. Don't worry, Kirchhoff's Rules
to the rescue!
Assuming we travel around the circuit in the clockwise
direction (starting at point a and moving up through
the 9 V battery), how would we write Kirchhoff's Loop
Rule?

See attached image, just need to find out how to combine the three equations in the screenshot and solve for r.
Can I see how each problem was worked out. Still not understanding

- Canvas HW09; Due before class on Wed. 4/20. A small microwave oven is shown below, looking at it from overhead. (The circle in the middle of the 30cm x 50cm oven is where you put your food.) The mechanism that turns the circle is broken; the food does not rotate. The microwaves come from a common source, through two tubes, as shown. The two tubes have the same length. They enter the oven from both sides, 5cm from the back of the ovén. Redraw the main oven (30cm x 50xm) as a rectangle on your solution. Microwave Source 5cm 30cm 50cm A) If the microwaves have a frequency of 1.5 GHz, what is their wavelength? B) Locate one place in the oven where you would expect destructive interference that would leave a cold spot in your food. (Ignore reflection off the walls.) There are many possible solutions, but try to find a simple one where you can precisely calculate the location of the cold spot.arrow_forwardAs you are watching the sunset at a beach, you found your shadow 5 times longer than your height. What is the angle subtended by the sun at your head? 1. 79 degrees 2. 60 degrees 3. 38 degrees 4. 85 degreesarrow_forwardJust answer correctly along with correct amount of sig figures/digts Air has a small, usually negligible index of refraction. It is 1.0002926. This causes the Sun to actually be below the horizon when it appears to be just on the verge of sinking below it. Suppose you are on the sea-shore watching the Sun apparently sinking into the ocean. When only its upper tip is still visible, by what fraction of the diameter of the Sun is that tip actually already below the surface? To answer this question, as an approximation, take the earth's atmosphere as being of uniform density out to a thickness of 8.70 km, beyond which there is no atmosphere. This means that, with the Earth's radius being 6371 km, your line of sight due West along the ocean surface to the horizon will intersect this "upper surface" of the atmosphere at about 333.1 km from your eye. Note that the diameter of the sun subtends 0.5000 degrees at your eye.arrow_forward
