After completing this course, you will be able to:
• Describe the resistive response of each of the three basic circuit elements when a voltage or current of different frequencies is applied.
• Explain the inductive response of each of the three basic circuit elements when a voltage or current of different frequencies is applied.
• Illustrate the capacitive response of each of the three basic circuit elements when a voltage or current of different frequencies is applied.
• Describe the nature of capacitance and inductance in terms of the dual relationship between the two.
Part of a Series
The course presented here is a part of a series of courses on the subject of Circuit Analysis. This course assumes that the user has the knowledge presented in the previous courses in the series, or has obtained sufficient background elsewhere.
There are generally two ways to use this series: A user may start at the beginning and work through the entire series, or he may simply choose parts of the series to either refresh his knowledge or to selectively obtain new knowledge.
The series contains two major classifications – AC and DC. The DC courses (or their equivalent) should be mastered first, as many of the AC courses assume a basic knowledge of the DC Circuit Analysis courses. For example, Ohm’s Law for an AC circuit is very much like Ohm’s Law for a DC circuit and the user should have the knowledge of the DC circuit to understand the AC circuit material on Ohm’s Law.
