Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

A special frequency determined by the values of the resistance, capacitance and inductance refers to the resonance in AC circuits. The resonant frequency point occurs where the inductive reactance of ...

This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also shows that a graphical representation of this transformation as a function of ...

Using this Pierce-oscillator circuit, users can test and verify the basic operation of a crystal in parallel-resonance mode. It allows the user to calculate and set the critical external capacitor ...

Wireless power transfer (WPT) enables device charging without direct physical or wired connections. Resonant circuits are key components of WPT systems that optimize energy transfer from the ...

A. Witulski and R. Erickson, “Steady-State Analysis of the Series Resonant Converter,” IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems", vol. AES-21, no. 6, pp. 791-799, November 1985. This ...

Harmonic distortion is not a problem unless it becomes a problem. Harmonics are a breakdown of a distorted waveform into its separate frequencies, which are integer multiples of the fundamental ...
