    Using Thevenin's theorem on Wheatstone Bridge

    What's the correct way to use Thevenin's theorem to find the current going through Rs?  I keep getting 5mA and it should be 3.33mA.  I can't figure out where my problem is.

    Which one of these is correct!? (State technique for an electrical network)

    Alright 2 of the same circuits.  One is from the signals and systems made ridiculously simple book that was posted on here.  The other one is from some professors notes I found online.  They get two different equations. >:( Which one is correct and why!?  How do you figure this thing out...

    Working on 7-Seg Up/Down Counter. Bounce problem with push button.

    To begin, my friend was building an 7 seg display counter using a programmable logic chip the other day.  He was using a push button to control the pulses going into the PLD.  We obviously had a bad bounce problem with the push button, but sometimes we could get it so all the numbers would...

    How did I blow out a leg of a Bridge Rectifier(BR82D)

    So I'm building your basic DC power supply using Bridge Rectifier(BR82D) 200v 2A.  When I go to test the thing with my function generator, 18v P-P at 60Hz and look at it with my scope I get half wave rectification.  PROCEDURE - After I first assembled the thing, I checked the output voltage of...

    What do the Address and Data Pins do on an EPROM?

    Im trying to learn a little bit about how EPROMs work and I don't quite understand how the Address and data pins work.  The address pins(address bus) recieves the address that the computer or whatever is reading it supplies, and the data(data bus) pins outputs the value that is stored in the...
