Chapter S, Problem 1RQ
What is the most important rule of electrical safety?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The most important rule of electrical safety
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The power supply to an electrical circuit should always be disconnected before working on it.
Explanation of Solution
Description:
Power supply connection to an electrical circuit should always be disconnected before working on it. The following three steps can be followed to ensure the same.
To make sure that the meter is operating, test the meter on a known live circuit.
Turn off the power supply and test the circuit that is to be de-energized using a meter.
Repeat Step 1 to avoid any failure in operation of the meter.
To avoid accidental restoration of power by the people, install a warning tag at the point of disconnection. For added safety, use a lock to prevent anyone from turning the power back on.
Conclusion:
Thus, the most important rule of electrical safety is to de-energize the electrical circuit before working on it.

2. Suppose the Laplace transform of a causal signal x(t) is given by
s² +2
X(s) =
S³ + 1
Using the lookup tables for standard Laplace transforms and the Laplace transform
properties, find the Laplace transforms of the following signals. You do not need to
simplify the expressions.
a) x₁(t) = e² x(t) + 38(t − 1) − (t − 2)² u(t − 2)
b) x2(t) = x(2t - 1) + et u(t − 2)
Please explain in detail the steps to solve this. Thank you

- This is the 3rd time i'm asking this. SOLVE THIS AND FIND V0 , the last answer i was given is -2V which is not even one of the listed options. the listed options are: 12V,4V,24V,6V. first answer given to me was 4V but after i simulated on ltspice albeit i'm not sure if i simulated correct i got a different answer and when i solved it myself i got a different answer. this is my last remaining question. PLEASE SOLVE CORRECTLY AND PROPERLY. NODAL ANALYSIS IS BEST TO USE HERE. IT IS AN IDEAL OP-AMP.
