  2. Voltage multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_multiplier

    Voltage multipliers can be used to generate a few volts for electronic appliances, to millions of volts for purposes such as high-energy physics experiments and lightning safety testing. The most common type of voltage multiplier is the half-wave series multiplier, also called the Villard cascade (but actually invented by Heinrich Greinacher ).

  3. Network analyzer (AC power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_analyzer_(AC_power)

    A plugging diagram would be prepared to show the interconnections to be made between the model elements. The circuit elements would be interconnected by patch cables. The model system would be energized, and measurements taken at the points of interest in the model; these could be scaled up to the values in the full-scale system. [9]

  4. Network analysis (electrical circuits) - Wikipedia

    The solution principles outlined here also apply to phasor analysis of AC circuits. Two circuits are said to be equivalent with respect to a pair of terminals if the voltage across the terminals and current through the terminals for one network have the same relationship as the voltage and current at the terminals of the other network.

    PSTricks is a circuit drawing package implemented with PSTricks , which allows TeX users to "code" figures with the aid of PostScript. Packages like pst-eps or preview allow for easy production of images with tight bounding boxes. Advantages: Full use of PostScript (e.g., colors, bitmaps, vectors, etc.).

  6. Small-signal model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-signal_model

    It is applicable to electronic circuits in which the AC signals (i.e., the time-varying currents and voltages in the circuit) are small relative to the DC bias currents and voltages. A small-signal model is an AC equivalent circuit in which the nonlinear circuit elements are replaced by linear elements whose values are given by the first-order ...

  7. Alternating current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    The usual waveform of alternating current in most electric power circuits is a sine wave, whose positive half-period corresponds with positive direction of the current and vice versa (the full period is called a cycle). "Alternating current" most commonly refers to power distribution, but a wide range of other applications are technically ...

  8. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

    For example, a meter with a sensitivity of 1000 ohms per volt would draw 1 milliampere at full scale voltage; if the full scale was 200 volts, the resistance at the instrument's terminals would be 200 000 ohms and at full scale, the meter would draw 1 milliampere from the circuit under test. For multi-range instruments, the input resistance ...

  9. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(electronics)

    Once a DC operating point is defined by the DC load line, an AC load line can be drawn through the Q point. The AC load line is a straight line with a slope equal to the AC impedance facing the nonlinear device, which is in general different from the DC resistance. The ratio of AC voltage to current in the device is defined by this line.
