If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...

In addition, since all waveforms are constant-valued at equilibrium points, and so capacitors act as open circuits and inductors act as short circuits. There in lies the basic algorithm for computing ...

PartSim is a web-based app that makes it possible to create and simulate electronic circuits without installing software on your computer. All you need is an internet connection and a browser. In this ...

Alternating current circuits improve the versatility and usefulness of electric power systems. In the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla demonstrated phenomena with alternating current (AC) electricity that ...

This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...
