I wrote down the equation of motion for In(t) and I'm trying to match it with infinite spring mass system equation solution. In the spring mass system, we consider A to be the equilibrium length of the springs, and we can thus write Xn(t) = X(nA,t) and put it back into the equation of motion...

krotovs solution is based on energy conservation. My question is that why the solution didn't consider inductors energy? the question: The solution:

Without mathematical formulas, but only with a "Physical intuitive meaning", why if at t=0, I have a charged capacitor, and I connect it through a wire ,forming a closed path, to a inductor the current increasing with time and his derivative decreasing? To me seems like the inductor oppose "to...

I have been studying electronical circuit. In general, it is not difficult and is more about to solve EDO. The main problem is, really, the signs. See as follows: $$V_{L} = L dI/dt, V_{c} = +- Q/C$$ ? Should i put a minus sign there? Or shout i maintain the signs? When do i know what sign to...

I am not an electrical or electronic engineer. I am trying to understand how a simple, series LC circuit running at it's resonant frequency can generate EM waves. I believe, based on what I have read, that the frequency of the generated EM waves will be the resonant frequency of the circuit...

I've just learned about simple harmonic motion and I've been given the following examples: The physical pendulum (for small oscillations sin(theta)~theta), with the formula (1st pic), and the LC circuit, with the formula (2nd pic). If possible, I need the demonstration for these 2 formulas...

Hello. I am experimenting with LC Circuits. So far I know that 1/2*Pi *Sqrt(LC) will give you the frequency of the lc cricuit. So when i decide which components to use I can start with that. I was wondering though in a circuit with a 60 hertz supply. What is the minimum and maximum frequencies...

in an LC circuit the current does no drop to 0 but varies sinusoidally. The capacitor is recharged with a different polarization. Why is this so?

I think I have mistaken something here but does changes in voltage affect the frequency of a series LC or parallel LC circuit or not? Or is the frequency only dependent on capacitance and inductance of the circuit elements? And if the fed in frequency matches the resonant frequency then the LC...

I have been trying to find out how the cutoff equation for the T section LC Lowpass filter is derived. I remember from college that f=1/(2pi√(LC)) for an LC circuit. But, with the T section, the cutoff frequency is given by f=1/(pi√(LC)), with L being the sum of the two inductors. My math has...

Hi, Say I have a design for a filter, is there a method of bench-marking it's attenuation over a variety of loads and types of harmonics? (or even common and differential noises) For instance, say I wanted to compare a filter to an LC filter or a π filter, how does one evaluate how much better...

Hi. In this video around 6:45, this guy builds a simple dipole antenna with an LED and capacitor in parallel in the center. The LED flickers when close to a transmitting cellphone. Since the LED only let's current pass in one direction, shouldn't this quickly lead to a charge imbalance between...
