Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

A special frequency determined by the values of the resistance, capacitance and inductance refers to the resonance in AC circuits. The resonant frequency point occurs where the inductive reactance of ...

New passive component architectures can meet the challenging requirements of emerging applications such as advanced driver assistance systems, says Verena Salan, High school physics teaches us that an ...

A quartz crystal's case will be stamped with the devices' rated operating frequency, but that number is only an approximation to the real story which is that there is more than one crystal resonant ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...

WHEN we consider that all matter is composed of electric ions which are in constant oscillation, it is evident that the study and measurement of electrical oscillations must always remain a leading ...

DURING the last thirty years a very large number of papers has been published on alternating-current bridge methods of measuring inductance and capacity. For adjusting apparatus in radio work an ...

Electric circuits often consist of several elements, some combined in series and others in parallel. The methods used to analyze series and parallel circuits can be combined to analyze these ...
