Re: Nationals Event Discussion

Potions (10): I was super happy with my placement though the test overall was kinda weird. It hit most of the bases, but I was surprised that there weren’t any serial dilutions or pollution maps. There was no dedicated section to metals which was weird as well. It was a little disappointing to see ...

Re: Nationals Event Discussion

Disease Detectives (10): Overall a disappointingly easy test. I felt like it didn't allow people to demonstrate their capabilities, but I absolutely adore the test writer, Ralph Cordell. The score distribution for DD reflects the quality of the test (not great), and the lack of free response was ver...

Re: Circuit Lab B/C

What are the values of R3 and R4 if you want the battery to supply 83.3 mA to the circuit while the ammeter reads 0.00mA? Image: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_cVQzrlTEcn5QR0MSS49hMGLcoC9kaRg Answer|The 0 current condition requires that [math]\frac{R_3}{R_4}=\frac{20}{280}[/math], and the 83.3m...

Re: Circuit Lab B/C

Since no one has posted a question yet: An LED with voltage drop 3.2V and internal resistance 2\Omega is in series with a voltage V and resistance R . The LED’s maximum rated current is 10mA , and the minimum current at which its light is visible is 100\mu A . 1. What is the minimum series voltage ...

Re: Circuit Lab B/C

Positive and negative charge carriers behave the same in almost all circuits. However, there are some circuits in which it actually makes a difference whether charge carriers are positive or negative. What is an example of a circuit in which this matters, and why does the distinction matter for thi...
