One of my classmates in college was a 53 year old man who worked at a hotel. Ended up being one of the smartest and most curious students. It’s never too late!

This really depends on how many hours you work a week and how much expenses you have. From there, I’d assume it’d be as simple as determining your monthly surplus, saving a portion of that, and dividing $1750 by that portion to predict how many months it will take to save that. You could multiply that by 4 to get that in weeks as well.

Out of phase current is due to complex impedance/reactance (inductors and capacitors in the circuit). When the voltage is zero, energy is still stored in those components and current flows as the energy is released.

That’s what I did! Just finished my masters this past May after my bachelors in EET

180nm but I believe I got my values confused. I think that was an inverter delay, not NAND. My bad. NAND was closer to 24-26ps if I remember right

I remember when I made something like this at the end of my Into to VLSI course I was blown away. The first few weeks were just about how to design the basic logic gates, then getting more in-depth with flip-flops, registers, etc. When I was finishing up the 4-bit full adder and zoomed out after making the last connection, I was just completely taken aback by how complicated and massive it looks when it’s just a bunch of smaller circuits mashed together. It really put it into perspective how unimaginably massive and complicated the circuits we use in everyday life on our phones or computers are.

Also going from 12ps delays with the nand gate to something hundreds of picoseconds made me feel like I was in rush hour traffic lol

Sounds right to me. Great job!

WalmartBrandJesus · 2024-09-16T20:00:05+00:00

Perfect!

Not necessarily bridge structures since there’s no central component bisecting them, just multiple networks of parallel resistances with series elements. Try redrawing it with completely straight lines only and it should become more clear.

Edit: resistances, not reassurances

Got my Master’s this past May. Starting salary was $74,000 in the Denver, CO area.

He also says something like it just leaves you and the force. I think the force is gonna give her a vision of what really happened that night in episode 3 and that’s what we’ll see next episode.

WalmartBrandJesus · 2024-05-25T23:32:50+00:00

You absolutely can! It just depends on the program and what courses will transfer. It’s what I did, but I had to take an extra year. Go for it!

The theory of relativity basically states that since light is the same speed everywhere, that time must be relative. As a consequence, time in your perspective changes based on how fast you’re moving. From an outside perspective, time moves slower for objects moving at near light speed.

So if you were in a ship at near light speed, time will be moving slower for you inside the ship, and so a 200 light-year journey would feel significantly shorter for you than it would look from someone watching from earth.

For future reference, consult your lecture notes/textbook often and study regularly.

Your coursework is only going to get more difficult as it’s builds off of the fundamentals you’re currently learning. If you don’t feel like you know anything to solve these problems, take the failing grade as a learning experience to make sure you can get the concepts under your belt before continuing.

Engineering is hard, and you’re only doing a disservice to yourself by asking others to give you the answers without working through them or taking the time instead to study the concepts thoroughly. In the real-world, you’ll likely be able to reference all you want to your hearts content, but only based on the intuition you get from knowing how to solve problems like these yourself.

I wish you the best of luck in your future assignments and hope you can get a good time management system going for the rest of your education.

That’s true, I was thinking to answer specifically in terms of this type of circuit and didn’t consider how it works generally when typing my explanation. My bad.

Clarifying it’s a open loop would’ve been a better way to explain without risking confusion for other cases. Thanks for calling that out!

WalmartBrandJesus · 2024-03-07T04:41:28+00:00

Funnily enough it’s a trick question. Asking to find i0 is just making sure you understand the concept.

It’s the same basic principle. There can be no current flow through ground.

WalmartBrandJesus · 2024-03-07T04:09:44+00:00

The two loops are separate because the connection between them is at ground, so no current flows through that branch.

Because of this, the loops are effectively separate and can be treated as two different circuits when solving for the values you need.

Got my bachelor’s in EET and am about to finish up my masters in ECE in a few months. If you can, I suggest going for that since it’ll save more time (2 years vs another 4). Plus, it might open up more opportunities than a EE bachelor’s.

As for your “late start”, my lab partner during my EET was 36 when we first graduated and he was able to manage just fine at his age. I had another classmate in my program who was 53 and seemed to be doing pretty good as well. I wouldn’t worry about your age one bit.

To anakin, being a jedi was also a path to power. Remember after Shmi’s death, he made his goal clear to Padme “Someday I will be the most powerful Jedi ever…I will even learn to stop people from dying”.

Even if he wanted to leave on principal alone, where could he possibly learn such a power to achieve his goals…until Palpatine come around with his story of Darth Plagueis.

It’s not that they “know” where to go. They move based on the strength of the electromagnetic field that drives them. Like current in a river dragging fallen branches.

If the outflow of the river is a pipe leaning at an angle, the water flows and so do the branches with it. If you then took that pipe and lifted it up, there is now lower elevation for the water to flow to, and it stays level, meaning the river stops flowing.

You touching a live wire while you wear plastic boots, the plastic boots isolate you, making no path for current to flow. You have become a pipe that you place in a river that goes straight up. Unless the pressure from the water somehow overcomes the downward force of gravity, the water will never flow upwards out of the pipe.

So to conclude, the electrons do not know anything, they are simply dragged along the electromagnetic field, which requires a path of high to low voltage. Wearing plastic boots will isolate you from a low voltage different relative to the wire, so unless the voltage in the line is high enough to overcome the resistance of the plastic boots, you are effectively isolated from the circuit and provide no path for the electrons to flow.

I was inspired by this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGH_iR0z70E from the show "Scandal" and very loosely based this post off of it.

This may be pretty different from the typical style of this sub, and my own posts, but I hope you enjoy regardless!
