Capacitor quirks
As with inductors, the ideal capacitor is a purely reactive device, containing absolutely zero resistive (power dissipative) effects. In the real world, of course, nothing is so perfect. However, capacitors have the virtue of generally being purer r...
Parallel resistor-capacitor circuits
Using the same value components in our series example circuit, we will connect them in parallel and see what happens: (Figure below) Parallel R-C circuit. Because the power source has the same frequency as the series example circuit, ...
Series resistor-capacitor circuits
In the last section, we learned what would happen in simple resistor-only and capacitor-only AC circuits. Now we will combine the two components together in series form and investigate the effects. (Figure below) Series capacitor inductor ...
AC capacitor circuits
Capacitors do not behave the same as resistors. Whereas resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or supplying current as they charge or discharge to t...
AC resistor circuits
Pure resistive AC circuit: voltage and current are in phase. If we were to plot the current and voltage for a very simple AC circuit consisting of a source and a resistor, (Figure above) it would look something like this: (Figure below) ...
