Inverting and Non-inverting OpAmps01:20

Inverting and Non-inverting OpAmps

1.6K
In an inverting amplifier, the input voltage is connected through a resistor to the inverting terminal. Meanwhile, the non-inverting terminal is grounded and a feedback resistor is established between the inverting and output terminal, as depicted in Figure 1.

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra01:30

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

169
The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra is central to the study of polynomial equations, asserting that every non-constant polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex zero. This means that a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1, written as:  with an ≠ 0, has at least one solution in the complex number system. Since the set of real numbers is a subset of complex numbers, this theorem applies equally to polynomials with real coefficients.Building on this result, the...

First-Order Circuits

3.2K
First-order electrical circuits, which comprise resistors and a single energy storage element - either a capacitor or an inductor, are fundamental to many electronic systems. These circuits are governed by a first-order differential equation that describes the relationship between input and output signals.
One common example of a first-order circuit is the RC (resistor-capacitor) circuit. These circuits are used in relaxation oscillators such as neon lamp oscillator circuits. When voltage is...

Second-Order Circuits

3.2K
Integrating two fundamental energy storage elements in electrical circuits results in second-order circuits, encompassing RLC circuits and circuits with dual capacitors or inductors (RC and RL circuits). Second-order circuits are identified by second-order differential equations that link input and output signals.
Input signals typically originate from voltage or current sources, with the output often representing voltage across the capacitor and/or current through the inductor. For example, in...

Network Function of a Circuit01:25

Network Function of a Circuit

564
Frequency response analysis in electrical circuits provides vital insights into a circuit's behavior as the frequency of the input signal changes. The transfer function, a mathematical tool, is instrumental in understanding this behavior. It defines the relationship between phasor output and input and comes in four types: voltage gain, current gain, transfer impedance, and transfer admittance. The critical components of the transfer function are the poles and zeros.

Norton Equivalent Circuits01:16

Norton Equivalent Circuits

701
Norton's theorem is a fundamental concept in the field of electrical engineering that allows for the simplification of complex AC circuits. The theorem states that any two-terminal linear network can be replaced with an equivalent circuit that consists of an impedance, which is parallel with a constant current source. Figure 1 shows the AC circuit portioned into two parts: Circuit A and Circuit B, while Figure 2 depicts the circuit obtained by replacing Circuit A by its Norton equivalent...
