Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

Using Part-Sim we can verify the response of this RL circuit, and our calculations for the initial, final, and the transition between those conditions. While analyzing this circuit’s response on paper ...

OBJECTIVE: You will wind (and test) your own inductor, which you will also use in the AM radio project in a subsequent lab. You will also investigate the properties of capacitors by making a simple ...

CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Fundamental concepts in electrical circuits; circuit analysis and network theorems; linearity and superposition; series/parallel combinations of R, L, and C circuits; sinusoidal ...
