  2. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  3. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    The graph opposite shows that there is a minimum in the frequency response of the current at the resonance frequency = / when the circuit is driven by a constant voltage. On the other hand, if driven by a constant current, there would be a maximum in the voltage which would follow the same curve as the current in the series circuit.

  4. RC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_circuit

    The impulse response of a series RC circuit. The impulse response for each voltage is the inverse Laplace transform of the corresponding transfer function. It represents the response of the circuit to an input voltage consisting of an impulse or Dirac delta function. The impulse response for the capacitor voltage is

    Select capacitor C 2, replace it by a test voltage V X, and replace C 1 by an open circuit. Then the resistance seen by the test voltage is found using the circuit in the middle panel of Figure 1 and is simply V X / I X = R 1 + R 2. Form the product C 2 ( R 1 + R 2). Select capacitor C 1, replace it by a test voltage V X, and replace C 2 by an open

  6. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Capacitance is the ability of an object to store electric charge.It is measured by the change in charge in response to a difference in electric potential, expressed as the ratio of those quantities.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Electrical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance

    In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it. [2]

  9. LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

    When the inductor (L) and capacitor (C) are connected in parallel as shown here, the voltage V across the open terminals is equal to both the voltage across the inductor and the voltage across the capacitor. The total current I flowing into the positive terminal of the circuit is equal to the sum of the current flowing through the inductor and ...
