Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Generating a high-frequency magnetic field can be quite a challenge due to an assortment of technical issues. At high ...

Harmonic distortion is not a problem unless it becomes a problem. Harmonics are a breakdown of a distorted waveform into its separate frequencies, which are integer multiples of the fundamental ...

A special frequency determined by the values of the resistance, capacitance and inductance refers to the resonance in AC circuits. The resonant frequency point occurs where the inductive reactance of ...

A parallel LC filter has impedance that's theoretically infinite at its resonant frequency. You can exploit this characteristic to decouple a voltage generator from its load. Doing so lets the ...
