DC CIRCUITS: CHAPTER 4
Capacitors and Inductors • Introduction • Capacitors: terminal behavior in terms of current, voltage, power and energy • Series and parallel capacitors • Inductors: terminal behavior in terms of current, voltage, power and energy • Series and parallel inductors
Introduction • Two more linear, ideal basic passive circuit elements. • Energy storage elements stored in both magnetic and electric fields. • They found continual applications in more practical circuits such as filters, integrators, differentiators, circuit breakers and automobile ignition circuit. • Circuit analysis techniques and theorems applied to purely resistive circuits are equally applicable to circuits with inductors and capacitors.
Capacitors • Electrical component that consists of two conductors separated by an insulator or dielectric material. • Its behavior based on phenomenon associated with electric fields, which the source is voltage. • A time-varying electric fields produce a current flow in the space occupied by the fields. • Capacitance is the circuit parameter which relates the displacement current to the voltage.
