Appendix D. Phase Shift Simulation

Background

This simulation is intended to help you visualize the types of phase shift that occur in circuits as the relationship between circuit components changes.

All component values are initially set to 1.0 (Ω, uH, and uF, respectively). The angular frequency, ω, is fixed at 106. You will note that this is the resonant frequency under these conditions. Component values ...
