Not suitable for this site
May 11, 2015 at 15:21 comment added user45220 @KyleKanos: It is the intention that matters my friend. Your rules are rubbish on this site.
May 11, 2015 at 15:20 comment added user45220 @KyleKanos: meta.physics.stackexchange.com/q/714 Ok, so the rule of thumb is that you have to phrase your question so people don't know you were inspired to ask it by doing a "homework problem". Sounds easy, and pointless.
May 11, 2015 at 15:15 comment added user45220 @KyleKanos: I find it hard to believe that "FAQ" is not written as "frequently asked questions" anywhere on the site: google.co.uk/…

May 11, 2015 at 15:11 comment added Kyle Kanos Check the faq on meta.physics.se, it's stated there. We deal with concepts, not homework problems. If you want to understand electrical efficiency, just ask what's confusing you and forget about the numerics & problems.
May 11, 2015 at 15:09 comment added user45220 @KyleKanos: But there is basically no difference between asking for help on a concept and asking for help on how to think about a certain class of problems. Note: I asked for intuition, not just a solution. Is this really not allowed? Where does it say so? What is the point of phrasing my quesiton so that I omit the motivation for asking that question in the first place (in this case the motivation was the problem I posted). Literally no difference.
May 11, 2015 at 15:07 comment added Kyle Kanos Check my work problems are also homework problems. You also explicitly ask for us to 'run through the details' of solving these types of problems. This is not the design/intent of this site.
May 11, 2015 at 15:05 comment added user45220 @KyleKanos: I asked why my solution is wrong. I didn't just post the problem and ask you to solve it...
May 11, 2015 at 15:03 comment added Kyle Kanos Your question is asking for us to solve the problem for you. I fail to see how you can claim it is anything otherwise. If you had meant to ask about efficiency, go ahead and ask that, rather than ask us to do your homework.

May 11, 2015 at 14:56 comment added Kyle Kanos This is not a physics homework help site (including check my work problems there), it is a site for physics concepts.
