Capacitor
Electrical devices that are constructed of two metal plates separated by an insulating material, called a dielectric, are known as capacitors (Figure 10a). Schematic symbols shown in Figures 10b and…
Inductive Time Constant
Inductors will store energy in the form of a magnetic field. Circuits containing inductors will behave differently from a simple resistance circuit. In circuits with elements that store energy, it…
Series and Parallel Inductors
Inductors in Series Inductors in series are combined like resistors in series as shown in below figure. Figure 4 : Inductors in Series Equivalent inductance (Leq ) of two inductors…
Inductor
An inductor is a circuit element that will store electrical energy in the form of a magnetic field. It is usually a coil of wire wrapped around a core of…

Y and Delta Resistor Network Calculations
Because of its shape, the network shown in Figure 47 is called a T (tee) or Y (wye) network. These are different names for the same network. Figure 47 :…
Series – Parallel Circuit Analysis
When solving for voltage, current, and resistance in a series-parallel circuit, follow the rules which apply to the series part of the circuit, and follow the rules which apply to…
