  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    A series circuit with a voltage source (such as a battery, or in this case a cell) and three resistance units. Two-terminal components and electrical networks can be connected in series or parallel. The resulting electrical network will have two terminals, and itself can participate in a series or parallel topology.

  3. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    Series RL, parallel C circuit with resistance in series with the inductor is the standard model for a self-resonant inductor. A series resistor with the inductor in a parallel LC circuit as shown in Figure 4 is a topology commonly encountered where there is a need to take into account the resistance of the coil winding and its self-capacitance.

    For example, the drum generator is based upon the figure to the bottom-right. A different implementation of this idea is the Faraday's disc , shown in simplified form on the right. In the Faraday's disc example, the disc is rotated in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the disc, causing a current to flow in the radial arm due to the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    In an example from everyday experience, just one of the conductors of a lamp cord 10 m long, made of 18 AWG wire, would only have an inductance of about 19 μH if stretched out straight. Mutual inductance of two parallel straight wires

  6. RL circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RL_circuit

    A resistor–inductor circuit (RL circuit), or RL filter or RL network, is an electric circuit composed of resistors and inductors driven by a voltage or current source. [1] A first-order RL circuit is composed of one resistor and one inductor, either in series driven by a voltage source or in parallel driven by a current source.

  7. Electrical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resonance

    An RLC circuit (or LCR circuit) is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor, connected in series or in parallel.The RLC part of the name is due to those letters being the usual electrical symbols for resistance, inductance and capacitance respectively.

  8. Inductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor

    An inductor is characterized by its inductance, which is the ratio of the voltage to the rate of change of current. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of inductance is the henry (H) named for 19th century American scientist Joseph Henry. In the measurement of magnetic circuits, it is equivalent to ⁠ weber / ampere ⁠.

  9. LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

    In a series configuration, X C and X L cancel each other out. In real, rather than idealised, components, the current is opposed, mostly by the resistance of the coil windings. Thus, the current supplied to a series resonant circuit is maximal at resonance. In the limit as f → f 0 current is maximal. Circuit impedance is minimal.
