  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. RC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_circuit

    These equations show that a series RC circuit has a time constant, usually denoted τ = RC being the time it takes the voltage across the component to either rise (across the capacitor) or fall (across the resistor) to within ⁠ 1 / e ⁠ of its final value. That is, τ is the time it takes V C to reach V(1 − ⁠ 1 / e ⁠) and V R to reach ...

  4. Phasor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor

    Phasor notation (also known as angle notation) is a mathematical notation used in electronics engineering and electrical engineering.A vector whose polar coordinates are magnitude and angle is written . [13] can represent either the vector (⁡, ⁡) or the complex number ⁡ + ⁡ =, according to Euler's formula with =, both of which have magnitudes of 1.

  5. Circuit topology (electrical) - Wikipedia

    Figure 1.3. All these topologies are identical. Series topology is a general name. Voltage divider or potential divider is used for circuits of that purpose. L-section is a common name for the topology in filter design. A network with three branches has four possible topologies. Figure 1.4. Series and parallel topologies with three branches

  6. 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.

  7. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_(electrical)

    However, the series resistors R M1 and R M2 are low Ohmic resistors (like in the photo) meant to pass current around the instruments M1 and M2, and function as shunt resistors to those instruments. R M1 and R M2 are connected in parallel with M1 and M2. If seen without the instruments these two resistors would be considered series resistors in ...

  8. Source transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_transformation

    Performing a source transformation consists of using Ohm's law to take an existing voltage source in series with a resistance, and replacing it with a current source in parallel with the same resistance, or vice versa. The transformed sources are considered identical and can be substituted for one another in a circuit.

  9. Current source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_source

    Nonetheless, it is often the case that such a circuit will provide adequate performance when the specified current and load resistance are small. For example, a 5 V voltage source in series with a 4.7 kΩ resistor will provide an approximately constant current of 1 mA ± 5% to a load resistance in the range of 50 to 450 Ω.
