ok, now given flow rate in xC/min and xJ of heat dissapated in xSeconds, how do i find the voltage drop across the circuit?

k = constant, pounds of load per inch of deflection
should be given to you in the problem...each sping has its own k value

k = 1/(4*pi*epsilon0) where epsilon0 is the permittivity of free space. It is NOT the Boltzmann constant.

winner. actually 8.988 x 10^9

Coulomb's constant. The equation is to determine the force of two electrical charges.

this is for my electrical class. its basically physics.
For your sake (and sanity), I hope that it's not an electromagnetics course.

Man, I hated that ish.

its basic ac/dc circuits.

but now wtf is the formula to figure out voltage when given:

energy used and the amount of electrons moved between two points.

Energy Used (Joules) = Voltage (Volts) * Amount of charge moved (Coulombs)
