In this chapter we continue our introduction to circuit analysis by studying periodic functions in both the time and frequency domains. Any periodic function may be represented as the sum of an infinite number of sine and cosine functions which are harmonically related. The response of the linear network to the general periodic forcing function may be obtained by superposing the partial responses
In this chapter we shall show how the phasor methods developed to analyze circuits operating under sinusoidal steady- state conditions can be applied to the study of three-phase ac circuits
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 this chapter we will extend the concepts which have been presented in the preceding chapter so as to develop general methods of phasor analysis for circuits which are under conditions of sinusoidal steady-state excitation. The methods are very similar to those for resistance circuits which were presented in Chap.2
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 some two-terminal element which have properties, which are quite different than those of the resistor. These elements are the inductor and capacitor. The inductor and capacitor are passive elements, which are capable of storing and delivering finite amounts of energy
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
