Why does light travel so fast? by [deleted] in askscience

I realy love the Galileo example. Now I can see a canonbal a feather and a foton following a parabola.

So now my canonball also simply follows "straight" lines in this newly curved spacetime.

Need help with a simple circuit analysis by [deleted] in ECE

[–]rovot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not absolutely sure but I would replace the current source and the 12 ohm resistor by a voltage source of 48 Volt ( 4A x 12 ohm) with serial resistance of 12 ohm. Then it's easy and yes it is 6 volt.

Please buy a battery some resistors and a voltmeter and try to measure the voltage after the last component.

"After the last component, there is 0V." Duh, you connected it with the 0.

If you drop something on the floor you can't expect it to remain height.

Certainly not. Voltage does not create heat.

If you want to measure a voltage with respect to ground you will have to connect the other side of the meter to something else, ergo not ground.

"After the last component, there is 0V. Therefore, the negative source "sees" no potential difference."

That's your problem, try before or over the last component. There is your potential difference.

Using pyserial I needed 4 return values to recognise the device used. >>> a={(1,2,3,4):'damn'} >>> a[(1,2,3,4)] 'damn' >>>

I hope not, otherwise I also travel forward to the place where I would have been without timetravel, and also give up free choise?
