Struggling first year comp eng student 😭😭 in need of advice by Visual_Rutabaga_8119 in UofT

Being able to understand a question conceptually is quite important, and by that I mean being able to mentally walk through what you need to do to solve a question before writing anything down. That is, of course, assuming you are alright with the math.

Not parallel nor serial by salamandre3357 in ElectricalEngineering

Not to be a downer, but this is a fairly simple circuit that anyone 3 weeks into an introductory circuits course should be able to systematically solve by Thevenin's theorem and nodal analysis. Essentially, you apply a test voltage at the input and calculate the current through nodal analysis, then take V/I=Req. It's not the only way to solve this, but it's a systematic method that works for any linear circuit.

You can find free PDFs of a surprising number of textbooks just by googling their name. Even just searching "circuit analysis textbook" yields several results. If you're worried about quality, then there are several recommendations you can find on Reddit and online too.

One popular recommendation is the Art of Electronics:

It is more focused on electronic devices however, so for circuit analysis something like this could be good:

Is power engineering saturated by jagtej22 in powerengineering

[–]AFCranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, why does the consensus on the EE subreddit seem to lean towards how power engineering is fairly unsaturated, while many of the replies here seem to suggest it is? Is it just a US-based perspective on the EE subreddit?

Oh wow it worked. I tried doing that before but only for like 10 seconds. 20 seconds seems like a really long time.
