The half-wave rectifier rectification process.
Polarization of semiconductor diode in the forward and in the reverse direction. Input and output waveforms
Push – Pull Amplifier
A Push – Pull amplifier is called that way, because it uses 2 groups of transistors and only one works at a time. One group pushes in one direction while the other pulls in another direction. Each group is responsible for amplifying a single phase of the input wave.
Parallel RC circuit
Voltage, Currents, Phasor diagram & Impedance. Voltage is the same on the capacitor and resistor. Current is ahead of the voltage in the capacitor
Basic structure of the sinusoidal oscillator
The sinusoidal oscillator basic structure consists of an amplifier (A) and a selective frequency network (ß) connected in a positive feedback loop
The series RC circuit.
In a series RC circuit, the current through the resistor and the capacitor is the same. The voltage VS is equal to the phasor addition of the voltage drop across the resistor (Vr) and the voltage drop across the capacitor (Vc).
What is Alternating Current?
The difference between an alternating current and a continuous current is that the continuous current flows only on one direction. The alternating current circulates first in one direction and then on the opposite one, repeating this process continuously.
What is Resonance in RLC Circuits?
Resonance in RLC Circuits is a special condition for parallel and series RLC circuits, when capacitive reactance and inductive reactance have the same magnitude and cancel each other. This only happens at frequency fo.
Power in AC circuits.
Electric power. Electrical power on a circuit with reactive load (reactance).
How to obtain the current in a circuit having resistance and reactance.
What is Impedance?
Impedance (Z) shows the opposition to the flow of direct or alternating current. Impedance is the vectorial addition of resistance (R) and reactance (X).
RC High Pass Filter (passive High Pass filter)
An RC high pass filter allows only the passage of frequencies above the cut-off frequency (Fc) and eliminates frequencies above this frequency
RC Low Pass Filter An RC low pass filter is a circuit made by a resistor and a capacitor connected in series, as shown in the image below. The RC low pass filter allows only the passage of frequencies below a particular frequency called cut-off frequency (Fc) and eliminates frequencies above this frequency. These RC […]
