This eBook was written as the sequel to the eBook titled DC Circuits, which was written in 2016 by Chad Davis.
This eBook covers Alternating Current (AC) circuit theory as well us a brief introduction of electronics. It is
broken up into seven modules. Module 1 covers the basic theory of AC signals. Since only DC sources are used in
the first eBook, details of AC signals such as sinusoidal waveforms (or sine waves), square waves, and triangle
waves are provided. Module 2, titled AC Circuits Math Background, covers the mathematics background needed
for solving AC circuit problems. The background material in Modules 1 and 2 are combined in Module 3 to solve
circuits with AC sources that include resistors, inductors, and capacitors (RLC circuits).

Impedance

0.0 stars

The ratio of a sinusoidal voltage to a sinusoidal current is called "impedance". This is a generalization of Ohm's Law for resistors. We derive the impedance of a resistor, inductor, and capacitor. The inductor and capacitor impedance includes a term for frequency, so the impedance of these components depends on frequency. Created by Willy McAllister.
