  2. LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

    An LC circuit, also called a resonant circuit, tank circuit, or tuned circuit, is an electric circuit consisting of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C, connected together. The circuit can act as an electrical resonator, an electrical analogue of a tuning fork, storing energy oscillating at the ...

  3. Electrical reactance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_reactance

    In electrical circuits, reactance is the opposition presented to alternating current by inductance and capacitance. [1] Along with resistance, it is one of two elements of impedance; however, while both elements involve transfer of electrical energy, no dissipation of electrical energy as heat occurs in reactance; instead, the reactance stores energy until a quarter-cycle later when the energy ...

  4. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    The Smith chart (sometimes also called Smith diagram, Mizuhashi chart (水橋チャート), Mizuhashi–Smith chart (水橋スミスチャート), [1] [2] [3] Volpert–Smith chart (Диаграмма Вольперта—Смита) [4] [5] or Mizuhashi–Volpert–Smith chart), is a graphical calculator or nomogram designed for electrical and electronics engineers specializing in radio ...

  5. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    If the source is totally inductive (capacitive), then a totally capacitive (inductive) load, in the absence of resistive losses, would receive 100% of the energy from the source but send it back after a quarter cycle. The resultant circuit is nothing other than a resonant LC circuit in which the energy continues to oscillate to and fro.

  6. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    An RLC circuit is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C), connected in series or in parallel. The name of the circuit is derived from the letters that are used to denote the constituent components of this circuit, where the sequence of the components may vary from RLC.

  7. Foster's reactance theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster's_reactance_theorem

    Foster's reactance theorem. Foster's reactance theorem is an important theorem in the fields of electrical network analysis and synthesis. The theorem states that the reactance of a passive, lossless two-terminal (one-port) network always strictly monotonically increases with frequency. It is easily seen that the reactances of inductors and ...

  8. Telegrapher's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegrapher's_equations

    The telegrapher's equations (or just telegraph equations) are a set of two coupled, linear equations that predict the voltage and current distributions on a linear electrical transmission line. The equations are important because they allow transmission lines to be analyzed using circuit theory. [1] The equations and their solutions are ...

  9. Capacitive power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_power_supply

    A capacitive power supply or capacitive dropper is a type of power supply that uses the capacitive reactance of a capacitor to reduce higher AC mains voltage to a lower DC voltage. It is a relatively inexpensive method compared to typical solutions using a transformer, however, a relatively large mains-voltage capacitor is required and its ...
