Capacitors and resistor in series and in parallel [closed]
In this circuit, are $R_1$ and $C_1$ in parallel and $C_2$ and $R_2$ in series?
I have think that the currents that flows trought $R_1$ isn't the same that flows trought $C_1$ so, $R_1$ and $C_1$ ...

how to find the diameter of this fuse? [closed]
A fuse blows if the current exceeds 1.0 A. It is made of material that melts at a current density
of 620A/cm2. What is the diameter of the wire, assumed to have a circular profile, in the
fuse?

Non-conservative Electric Field
I was watching this video from Walter Lewin and while watching these two videos, I noticed there is a "contradiction" in what he is doing. All links direct you exactly to where he begins, so you don't ...

Is it possible to mathematically derive the formula for resistance?
Resistance is given by $\rho L/A$, where $\rho$ is the material constant, $L$ is the length, and $A$ is the area.
Is there any way that this can be derived mathematically, or is the only way ...

Resistance between two points on a conducting surface
Suppose we have a cylindrical resistor, with resistance given by $R=\rho\cdot l/(\pi r^2)$
Let $d$ be the distance between two points in the interior of the resistor and let $r\gg d\gg l$.
Ie. it is ...
