Analyze a First-Order RC Circuit Using Laplace Methods

Article / Updated 09-19-2022
Using the Laplace transform as part of your circuit analysis provides you with a prediction of circuit response. Analyze the poles of the Laplace transform to get a general idea of output behavior. Real poles, for instance, indicate exponential output behavior.Follow these basic steps to analyze a circuit using Laplace techniques: Develop the differential equation in the time-domain using Kirchhoff’s laws and element equations.

Create Band-Pass and Band-Reject Filters with RLC Parallel Circuits

Article / Updated 08-19-2022
There are many applications for an RLC circuit, including band-pass filters, band-reject filters, and low-/high-pass filters. You can use series and parallel RLC circuits to create band-pass and band-reject filters. An RLC circuit has a resistor, inductor, and capacitor connected in series or in parallel.You can get a transfer function for a band-pass filter with a parallel RLC circuit, like the one shown here.

Create Band-Pass and Band-Reject Filters with RLC Series Circuits

Article / Updated 08-19-2022
There are many applications for an RLC circuit, including band-pass filters, band-reject filters, and low-/high-pass filters. You can use series and parallel RLC circuits to create band-pass and band-reject filters. An RLC circuit has a resistor, inductor, and capacitor connected in series or in parallel. RLC series band-pass filter (BPF) You can get a band-pass filter with a series RLC circuit by measuring the voltage across the resistor VR(s) driven by a source VS(s).

Analyze a Parallel RL Circuit Using a Differential Equation

Article / Updated 07-29-2022
A first-order RL parallel circuit has one resistor (or network of resistors) and a single inductor. First-order circuits can be analyzed using first-order differential equations. By analyzing a first-order circuit, you can understand its timing and delays.Analyzing such a parallel RL circuit, like the one shown here, follows the same process as analyzing an RC series circuit.

Find the Zero-State Response of a Parallel RL Circuit

Article / Updated 07-29-2022
To find the total response of an RL parallel circuit such as the one shown here, you need to find the zero-input response and the zero-state response and then add them together.After fiddling with the math, you determine that the zero-input response of the sample circuit is this:Now you are ready to calculate the zero-state response for the circuit.

Circuit Analysis For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Cheat Sheet / Updated 01-26-2022
When doing circuit analysis, you need to know some essential laws, electrical quantities, relationships, and theorems.Ohm’s law is a key device equation that relates current, voltage, and resistance. Using Kirchhoff’s laws, you can simplify a network of resistors using a single equivalent resistor. You can also do the same type of calculation to obtain the equivalent capacitance and inductance for a network of capacitors or inductors.

Alternating Current in Electronics: Hot, Neutral, and Ground Wires

Article / Updated 09-27-2021
Before you start working with line voltage in your electronic circuits, you need to understand a few details about how most residential and commercial buildings are wired. The following description applies only to the United States; if you’re in a different country, you’ll need to determine the standards for your country’s wiring.

How Batteries Work in Electronic Circuits

Article / Updated 04-11-2017
The easiest way to provide a voltage source for an electronic circuit is to include a battery. There are plenty of other ways to provide voltage, including AC adapters (which you can plug into the wall) and solar cells (which convert sunlight to voltage). However, batteries remain the most practical source of juice for most electronic circuits.
