Please follow the following guidelines while submitting the solutions:

   For eg: If your answer is 3 Volts, you can enter it as 3
2. Only Specify the numerical value as per the "specified units" in the question.
3. Please don't enter any white spaces in the solution as it will be treated as incorrect.
4. If you get the answer in fractions, convert it to decimal format before entering
    For eg: If your answer is 2/3, you can enter it is 0.666 or 0.667
5. Unless and otherwise specified explicitly, the default unit of voltage is Volts.
6. Please post your confusions while submitting solutions in forum and get them clarified by TAs.
