In the chapter, we first define mutual inductance and study the methods whereby its effects are included in the circuit equations. We conclude with a study of the important characteristics of a linear transformer and an important approximation to a good iron-core transformer which is known as an ideal transformer
In this chapter we will introduce an important frequency is that network function or parameter reaches a maximum value. In certain simple a networks, this occurs when an impedance or admittance is purely real-a condition known as resonance
In the chapter we shall develop a method for representing a sinusoidal forcing function or a sinusoidal response by a complex number called a phasor transform,or simply a phasor. By working with phasors we shall effect a truly remarkable simplification in the steady state sinusoidal analysis of general circuits
In the chapter we shall study the properties of second-order circuits, i.e., circuits containing two energy-storage elements. Such circuits will, in general, be characterized by second-order differential equations
In the chapter we shall introduce the study of circuits characterized by a single energy-storage element--a capacitor or a inductor. It will be shown that the equations describing such a circuit may be put in a form involving an unknown variable and its first derivative. Such an equation is referred to as a first-order differential equation, thus we shall refer to circuits which contain only a single energy-storage element as first-order circuits
In the chapter we present resistive circuit analysis methods. The first is based on KCL and determines all the node-to-datum voltages in a given circuit and is known as node analysis. The second method, based on KVL, determines all loop current and is known as loop analysis. After discussing superposition, we will introduce Thevenin's and Norton's theorems
Let the initial voltages on the capacitors be represented as voltage sources in series with the capacitors and the initial currents through the inductors be represented as current sources in parallel with the inductors
