Comment by periblepsis on Circuit analysis with impedances
I believe I'm seeing a re-opened question. You have computed \$Z_1\$ and \$Z_2\$, correctly. Also, the series equivalent total impedance, as well, is correct. And although I might express the current...

The obvious suggestion will be something like this:In this case, it's a comparator that outputs a 1(true) if \$A\lt B\$. That can be used to gate the appropriate input to an output via a mux.Staging...

There's an unfortunate assumption that your teacher made, but isn't shown explicitly. As such, I'd say that this problem is sufficiently flawed to consider it a fatal flaw. Yet I do see it happen in...

Why don't you explain your thinking in creating this implementation first? It would help a lot towards providing a useful and meaningful answer. Besides, we would be expected to explain ourselves in an...

Your question brings up the entire Ebers-Moll model and correctly points out that both forward and reverse \$\beta\$ values would be needed.I discuss the saturation case in detail here, with respect to...

I'm particularly taken by the largish values chosen for emitter degeneration. Before considering any reply, I'd like to hear your thinking in setting part values in your circuit. Also, you may want to...

If there is 1 A in the 50 Ohm resistor, as shown, then there must be another 1 A in the other 50 Ohm resistor. This means that there must be 2 A in the 100 Ohm resistor. Knowing the voltage drop that...

@Luc No. VB \$\ne\$ 12*5/15. You can't ignore the voltage drop across the collector resistor.

If you assume, as you say, that \$\beta\to\infty\$ and the base current can be completely ignored then you can just solve for the emitter voltage directly:\$V_{_\text{E}}\$ is...
View ArticleComment by periblepsis on What is wrong with my work about 2nd order circuit?
In your first case, I just chose to run a simulation. The very first problem I encountered is that I don't know which direction is positive for the current in the inductor. So could you clarify that?...

As @hobbs implies, \$\mu=\mu_{_0}\cdot\mu_r\$, where \$\mu_{_0}\$ is the constant for vacuum (no ferromagnetic matter placed within the inductor). While \$\mu_{_0}\$ is a well-known constant that...

In some non-US parts of the world, the arrow on the voltage supply points to the positive end of it. Memory serving. But the questioner has the final say about it, I guess.

Sounds like you already have all you need for your answer. That's great! But I thought I'd add something: always redraw your schematics using these Rules for Re-Drawing Schematics.Drawing from that...
