Understanding what makes a good conductor or insulator.

What property makes a given material a good conductor? What property makes a given material a good insulator?

Circuit involving resistances; determination of unknown resistance and the voltages at the terminal points.

Determine the voltage drop across each of the resistors given in the network (See figure). Also determine the unknown resistance R.

capacitance

A cardiac defibrilator is used to shock a heart that is beating erratically. A capacitor in this device is charged to 6150 V and stores 218J of energy. What is its capacitance?

DC circuits

Three 25 ohms lightbulbs and three 100.0 ohms lightbulbs are connected in series. what is the total resistance of the circuit? What is their resistance if all six are wired in parallel?

DC circuits

You have three capacitors, of capacitance 1610pF, 7240pF and 0.0270 micro F. what is the maximum capacitance that you can form from these? what is the minimum capacitance that you can form from these?

DC circuits

Five 5.90 W christmas tree lights are connected in series to each other and to a 110V source. What is the resistance of each bulb?

Why and how does charge flow from one capacitor to another capacitor when the two are connected to each other by a conducting wire ?

I am not being able to understand that why and how does negative charge flow from a capacitor having lower potential difference between its plates to a capacitor having higher potential difference between its plates, when both are connected by a conducting wire. Also, why is the charge lost by one = charge gained by the other ...continues

measurement of physiology

A strap, instrumented to measure stretch, is worn around the chest to detect respiration whilst a subject is at-rest. The resulting signal is contaminated by electrical noise from the mains at 50 Hz with a similar amplitude to the respiration signal. Sketch what the contaminated signal might look like. The signal is then sample ...continues

Demonstralte by analysing the circuit that the inverse of a function can be generated by placing the function in the feedback loop of the op-amp. In the diagram, a logarithmic amplifier has been placed in the feedback loop. The output of the log amplifier is Vb=log(Va). complete question with pic in attached doc file
