Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.34P
Suppose that in the fluid-flow analogy for an electrical circuit the analog of electrical current is volumetric flow rate with units of cm3/s. For a proper analogy to electrical circuits, must the fluid be compressible or incompressible? Must the walls of the pipes be elastic or inelastic? Explain your answers.

1. Passive voltage response to injected current step is not instantaneous, why not?
Key words: time constant, resistance/capacitance properties
3.12 A carbon brush used to conduct current from the commutator of a DC
generator has a length of 4 in. It must conduct a current of 400 A with a voltage drop
not exceeding 2 V. Determine the cross-sectional area of this carbon brush.
3.13 Early DC machines use brass brushes instead of carbon brushes. The com-
mutator bars do not last very long since brass is a rather hard metal. If a brass brush
of the dimensions determined in problem 3.12 is used instead to conduct the same
current, determine the voltage drop.

- You have developed an idea for using a poly Si surface‐ micromachined cantilever. Initially, you designed a process flow for creating this simple structure, and the process flow is detailed in the figure below. ( cross section view and top view)There are several critical errors with this process (things that won’t work or won’t produce the result). Please find the critical errors in this process flow and, where possible, suggest alternate approaches. Do not worry about the accumulation of errors, but rather treat each step assuming that the structure up to that step could be created.This structure is actually quite simple to make. Develop a simpler process flow and associated masks to create the final structure. Be sure to show cross‐sectional and planar views of all key steps in the process.arrow_forward6arrow_forwardYou want to demonstrate charging the electroscope by the induction process.
