If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...

Spice is a circuit simulator that you should have in your toolbox. While a simulator can’t tell you everything, it will often give you valuable insight into the way your circuit behaves, before you’ve ...

Alternating current circuits improve the versatility and usefulness of electric power systems. In the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla demonstrated phenomena with alternating current (AC) electricity that ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...

Whether you’re in the lab soldering components or on your laptop running simulations, learning circuits is about blending theory with hands-on practice. RIT’s Circuits Studio Lab offers real-world ...

The circuit in Figure 1 provides a low-cost, isolated ac-line monitor that measures ac-line-voltage level and has some other unique capabilities. The analysis of the circuit is straightforward: When ...

Spice-derived software packages are the de facto industry circuit-analysis tools. The primary advantage of these simulation tools is that virtually no circuit analysis algebra is required. However, ...

Student has earned at least 30 semester hours (AP, Post Secondary, Transfer, IB, etc.), including Precalculus, DC Circuit Analysis, Computer Aided Drafting, Composition and Rhetoric, College Physics I ...
