Resistance, Capacitance, and Inductance (R-C and R-L Circuit)

Our aim here is to discuss the very important concepts and give intuitive explanations of the subjects. We'll start with the resistor which is the most straightforward, then with the less understood and often misunderstood concepts of capacitance and inductance. We will discuss the R-C and R-L circuits as well. These along with Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchoff's Current Law (KCL) are the very foundations of understanding the complete behaviors of practically any circuit one might encounter. Resistance It is a general term that refers to the opposition to the free flow of current in a circuit. More accurately, it refers or applies to DC (direct current). Resistance doesn't apply only to resistors but also to a host of other components in the circuit. For example, a copper trace has a resistance according to its dimensions, as well as the leads of he components.When a current flows through a resistor a potential difference is generated acr

Introduction

Warm greetings everyone. Welcome to my blog. I intend fill this site with discussions on the important concepts in electronics engineering for students, new engineers, and not so new engineers seeking to refresh their knowledge and understanding of the basics of the trade. There will also be practical working circuits, circuit design tips, and more advanced topics for those who are already well initiated in the art of circuit design. Topics will be varied, mostly those that I find interesting and helpful to many people, students and practicing engineers alike. I like discussing and musing on the basics of things, because from the basics, as I've always heard from people who made  I look up to, comes deep insights by which one is able to appreciate the beauty of nature around us.  So the readers' feedbacks will also be a very valuable source for topics in the future. This is exciting, and I look forward to many discussions coming here. My goal is to make this site helpful
