Coming from an IT background to an AM transmitter site might leave you with a world of questions. Mark Persons explains the ...

In practical tuning circuits, the resistance in the capacitive branch is negligible, but the inductive branch has a considerable resistance due to the windings of the inductor. For the circuit shown ...

Our last go-round inside a DC circuit! We’ll encounter junctions, loops, and capacitors! What happens when there are MULTIPLE batteries, connected in ‘parallel’? And what happens when we add ...

We’ve read a lot about oscillators, but crystal oscillators seem to be a bit of a mystery. Hobby-level books tend to say, build a circuit like this and then mess with it until it oscillates. … ...

In this example, the capacitor, inductor, and load resistance form a parallel resonant circuit (Fig. 6). 6. The equivalent circuit of the L-network and load is a parallel resonant circuit.

It's called an LC circuit because it has an inductor (L) and a capacitor (C)---I guess that's obvious. The change in electric potential around the whole circuit has to be zero (because it's a loop ...

More soon, I will complete the parallel harness and capacitor packs and see what happens. This is the crazy system that I soldered together this evening and I was already tired.

If you’ve been building circuits for any length of time, you probably know you need decoupling capacitors to keep your circuits stable. But even though it’s a favorite technique of ours… ...

The equivalent circuit used for conventional capacitors can also be applied to ultracapacitors. The circuit schematic in Fig. 2 represents the first-order model for an ultracapacitor.
