Standing Waves01:17

Standing Waves

Sometimes waves do not seem to move; rather, they just vibrate in place. Unmoving waves can be seen on the surface of a glass of milk kept in a refrigerator, which is one example of standing waves. Vibrations from the refrigerator motor create waves on the milk that oscillate up and down but do not seem to move across the surface. These waves are formed or created by the superposition of two or more identical moving waves in opposite directions. The waves move through each other, with their...
Sound Waves: Interference00:53

Sound Waves: Interference

Sound waves can be modeled either as longitudinal waves, wherein the molecules of the medium oscillate around an equilibrium position, or as pressure waves. When two identical waves from the same source superimpose on each other, the combination of two crests or two troughs results in amplitude reinforcement known as constructive interference. If two identical waves, that are initially in phase, become out of phase because of different path lengths, the combination of crests with troughs...
Resonance in an AC Circuit01:26

Resonance in an AC Circuit

The property of an inductor makes it resist any change in the current passing through it, while the property of a capacitor is to build up the charge across its terminals. Hence, if an inductor and capacitor are connected in series, they have opposite effects on the relative phase between current and voltage. The current through the circuit undergoes forced oscillation at the frequency of the source. The resistance term in an R-L-C circuit acts as a damping term because power is dissipated...
Standing Waves in a Cavity01:28

Standing Waves in a Cavity

A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:
Series RLC Circuit without Source01:21

Series RLC Circuit without Source

Within the field of electrical circuits, source-free RLC circuits present an intriguing domain. These circuits comprise a series arrangement of a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, operating independently of external energy sources. Their initiation hinges upon utilizing the initial energy stored within the capacitor and inductor to instigate their functionality. Their mathematical equation, a second-order differential equation, sets these circuits apart. This equation captures how the...
Superposition Theorem for AC Circuits01:13

Superposition Theorem for AC Circuits

Consider encountering a circuit in a steady state where all its inputs are sinusoidal, yet they do not all possess the same frequency. Such a circuit is not classified as an alternating current (AC) circuit, and consequently, its currents and voltages will not exhibit sinusoidal behavior. However, this circuit can be analyzed using the principle of superposition.
The principle of superposition stipulates that the output of a linear circuit with several concurrent inputs is equivalent to the...
