  2. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    A series circuit with a voltage source (such as a battery, or in this case a cell) and three resistance units. Two-terminal components and electrical networks can be connected in series or parallel. The resulting electrical network will have two terminals, and itself can participate in a series or parallel topology.

  3. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    Series RL, parallel C circuit with resistance in series with the inductor is the standard model for a self-resonant inductor. A series resistor with the inductor in a parallel LC circuit as shown in Figure 4 is a topology commonly encountered where there is a need to take into account the resistance of the coil winding and its self-capacitance.

  4. LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

    A parallel resonant circuit provides current magnification. A parallel resonant circuit can be used as load impedance in output circuits of RF amplifiers. Due to high impedance, the gain of amplifier is maximum at resonant frequency. Both parallel and series resonant circuits are used in induction heating.

  5. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field. A dielectric (orange) reduces the field and increases the capacitance. A simple demonstration capacitor made of two parallel metal plates, using an air gap as the dielectric. A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region. [23]

  6. RC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_circuit

    A resistor–capacitor circuit (RC circuit), or RC filter or RC network, is an electric circuit composed of resistors and capacitors. It may be driven by a voltage or current source and these will produce different responses. A first order RC circuit is composed of one resistor and one capacitor and is the simplest type of RC circuit.

  7. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    The following formulae use it, assuming a constant voltage applied across the capacitor and resistor in series, to determine the voltage across the capacitor against time: Charging toward applied voltage (initially zero voltage across capacitor, constant V 0 across resistor and capacitor together) V 0 : V ( t ) = V 0 ( 1 − e − t / τ ...

  8. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    A common form is a parallel-plate capacitor, which consists of two conductive plates insulated from each other, usually sandwiching a dielectric material. In a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance is very nearly proportional to the surface area of the conductor plates and inversely proportional to the separation distance between the plates.

  9. Electrical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resonance

    An RLC circuit (or LCR circuit) is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor, connected in series or in parallel.The RLC part of the name is due to those letters being the usual electrical symbols for resistance, inductance and capacitance respectively.
