Part IV
Applying Time-Varying Signals to First- and Second-Order Circuits
Explore a timing circuit that detects rectangular pulses at www.dummies.com/extras/circuitanalysis.
In this part . . .
Look at functions that describe AC signals, such as the step function and the exponential function.
Get acquainted with capacitors and inductors and the roles they play in circuits.
Find out how to analyze first-order circuits (circuits with a single storage element connected to a single resistor or a resistor network).
Practice analyzing second-order circuits, which consist of capacitors, inductors, and resistors.
