This chapter explores the response of capacitors and inductors to sudden changes in DC voltage (called a transient voltage), when…
Because capacitors store energy in the form of an electric field, they tend to act like small secondary-cell batteries, being…
Inductors have the exact opposite characteristics of capacitors. Whereas capacitors store energy in an electric field (produced by the voltage…
There’s a sure way to calculate any of the values in a reactive DC circuit over time. The first step…
It is often perplexing to new students of electronics why the time-constant calculation for an inductive circuit is different from…
There are circumstances when you may need to analyze a DC reactive circuit when the starting values of voltage and…
What do we do if we come across a circuit more complex than the simple series configurations we’ve seen so…
Sometimes it is necessary to determine the length of time that a reactive circuit will take to reach a predetermined…
