When I originally wrote the treatise on dynamic circuit response from which this series is derived, I had a different version of this fifth article in the series, “Open-Circuit or Nodal Time Constants ...

Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

OBJECTIVE: You will wind (and test) your own inductor, which you will also use in the AM radio project in a subsequent lab. You will also investigate the properties of capacitors by making a simple ...
