Partial Fractions01:28

Partial Fractions

15
A partial fraction is a component of a rational expression represented as the sum of simpler fractions. When a rational function is expressed as a ratio of two polynomials, it can often be decomposed into a sum of fractions whose denominators are simpler polynomials, typically linear or irreducible quadratic factors. This process is called partial fraction decomposition, and it is used to simplify complex expressions for integration, solving equations, or analysis.Partial fraction decomposition...

Differential Form of Maxwell's Equations

728
James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was one of the significant contributors to physics in the nineteenth century. He is probably best known for having combined existing knowledge of the laws of electricity and the laws of magnetism with his insights to form a complete overarching electromagnetic theory, represented by Maxwell's equations. The four basic laws of electricity and magnetism were discovered experimentally through the work of physicists such as Oersted, Coulomb, Gauss, and...

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator

1.5K
An RLC circuit combines a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, connected in a series or parallel combination.
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...

Second Derivatives and Laplace Operator01:22

Second Derivatives and Laplace Operator

2.1K
The first order operators using the del operator include the gradient, divergence and curl. Certain combinations of first order operators on a scalar or vector function yield second order expressions. Second-order expressions play a very important role in mathematics and physics. Some second order expressions include the divergence and curl of a gradient function, the divergence and curl of a curl function, and the gradient of a divergence function.
Consider a scalar function. The curl of its...

Properties of DTFT II01:24

Properties of DTFT II

320
In the study of discrete-time signal processing, understanding the properties of the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) is crucial for analyzing and manipulating signals in the frequency domain. Several properties, including frequency differentiation, convolution, accumulation, and Parseval's relation, offer powerful tools for signal analysis.
The frequency differentiation property is illustrated by considering a DTFT pair and differentiating both sides with respect to ω.

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain01:26

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain

197
Linear systems are characterized by two main properties: superposition and homogeneity. Superposition allows the response to multiple inputs to be the sum of the responses to each individual input. Homogeneity ensures that scaling an input by a scalar results in the response being scaled by the same scalar.
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear....
