AC circuits are a big deal in the world of electrical engineering. They power up our homes, gadgets, and pretty much everything around us. Capacitors and inductors in AC circuits cause timing shifts between voltage and current waves. Phasors clarify this relationship between voltage, reactance, impedance, and current. Phasors are like the superhero sidekick that…
Introduction Alright, so first things first – let’s talk about what AC and DC circuits are. AC stands for Alternating Current, and it’s the boss when it comes to powering most of the stuff around us, All of the 120V outlets in your house are AC. On the other hand, DC stands for Direct Current…
Introduction In the realm of physics, particularly in electromagnetism, Gauss’s law, also referred to as Gauss’s flux theorem or simply Gauss’s theorem, stands as one of Maxwell’s equations. It establishes a connection between the arrangement of electric charge and the ensuing electric field. I know this might sound a bit intimidating, but don’t worry –…
Introduction When an electrical current flows through a wire, the current generates a small magnetic field around the wire. If the wire is shaped into a coil, the magnetic field becomes much stronger, thus an inductor is created. Today we’re going to dive into the world of inductors and see how these amazing devices shape…
What are capacitors? In the realm of electrical engineering, a capacitor is a two-terminal electrical device that stores electrical energy by collecting electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces, which are insulated from each other. The area between the conductors can be filled with either a vacuum or an insulating material called a dielectric. Initially…
Introduction Hey there, folks! Today, we’re going to embark on a journey to master the art of voltage and current division. It might sound intimidating at first, but fear not! Voltage and current dividers are simple concepts that are easy to grasp and apply. They may seem so straightforward that one might question the need…
Introduction So, today I want to talk about something electrifying (pun intended): electrical resistance and conductance. At first it might sound like a snooze-fest, however, it’s actually super interesting once you wrap your head around it. We’re about to uncover the shocking truth about these electric properties! What is Electrical Resistance? Alright, let’s start with…
