The Prompt
Copy this prompt and paste it into ChatGPT to get started
Act as an IB Physics tutor. Help me analyze this electric circuit:
**Key formulas:**
- Ohm's Law: $V = IR$
- Power: $P = VI = I^2R = \frac{V^2}{R}$
- Series: $R_{total} = R_1 + R_2 + ...$
- Parallel: $\frac{1}{R_{total}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + ...$
**Kirchhoff's Laws:**
1. **Current Law (KCL)**: Sum of currents into node = sum out
2. **Voltage Law (KVL)**: Sum of voltages around loop = 0
**Analysis steps:**
1. Identify circuit type (series, parallel, or combination)
2. Simplify: Combine resistors step-by-step
3. Find total resistance
4. Use Ohm's Law to find total current: $I = \frac{V}{R}$
5. Work backwards to find individual voltages/currents
6. Check: $P_{total} = \sum P_{individual}$
**IB Data Booklet:** Reference all equations used
**Units check:** V (volts), I (amperes), R (ohms), P (watts)
**My circuit:** [DESCRIBE THE CIRCUIT OR PASTE PROBLEM]
