How can current phase shift be 90 degrees behind voltage just "inside the capacitor" on an R...
In this video, the instructor claims current will be 90 degrees behind voltage inside the capacitor but not inside the resistor or the whole circuit. If that's true, I don't understand. … I am imagining current as a flow of water inside a tube and I cannot see how the water can be delayed on a point in the tube and not delayed 1 inch later.
Can someone please explain? …

Trying to calculate Vae by Kirchhoff KCL
I am trying to calculate the voltage between A and E by using Kirchhoff current law.
This is what I did. … I assumed that this current was clockwise, so
\$ I_{2} = -2 A \$
right? …

What is the meaning of current at infinite time for a series RLC circuit formula
, on a critically damped RLC circuit current will oscillate and be like this
\$ I_{\infty} \$ will be an equation, not a value, right? … What is the the meaning of this \$ I_{\infty} \$ on the current equation and how do I find it? …

How do I calculate I2 by nodal analysis only?
I am trying to do a nodal analysis of this circuit.
and I need to do this by nodal analysis only.
I need to find \$ i_1 \$, \$ i_2 \$ and \$ i_3 \$.
I have found that
\$ i_1 = \frac{V_B - V_A}{R …

Does a current source have a difference in potential?
I mean a difference in potential between terminals of a current source? … If all this is true, the current source is the one driving the circuit, R1 and the voltage source V1 are not having any effect. No current circulating from V1/R1.
Is this calculation wrong? …

A question about electrons, charges and current
Some authors say that electrons move from negative to positive and current from positive from negative. … Charges, electrons and current?
Is the effect similar to a newton cradle, where one ball knocks the first one and the force is transmitted through the chain? …

Why exactly a RLC Circuit powered by DC oscillates?
Current tries to reach the capacitor but the inductor is preventing it.
Magnetic field is building in the inductor. Current is increasing and its Voltage is dropping. … Current finally reaches the capacitor. It starts charging. Its voltage starts to rise. Capacitor is building electric field. …

How do I calculate the unknowns of the current equation for a RLC series circuit?
initial conditions:
voltage at t=0 (I would solve the equation for t=0)
dv/dt at t=0 (I would derivate the equation and solve for t=0)
Now suppose that I want to do the particular conditions for the current … I suppose the conditions are the same, so, if I have the current equation, I have to integrate that to get voltage's but doing so, I will generate a constant of integration that will be a third unknown …

Finding the unknowns of a current equation leads to non-sense
The first condition is current when t=0. We know that the inductor will resist the initial current, so i(0) = 0. … We know that current will be zero, because the inductor will guarantee that, so
\$ \frac{di}{dt} = \frac{V}{L} = 0 \$
so,
\$ i(t) = (At + B)e^{-\alpha t} \$
\$ \frac{di}{dt} = 0 = -\alpha A t e^{- …

Norton equivalent resistance of zero?
I have removed the load and calculated the norton current to be -2A.
Now I try to calculate the norton resistance. … Without the load, I short circuit the voltage source and remove the current source.
I end with this!!!
what??? the circuit is interrupted. …

Help me understand what happens with the circuit when an AC signal is applied
Hfe is 225 for that current.
Resistors are calculated to have Vbe = 0.7V and Vc = 4.5V.
I am trying to understand what happens when I inject an AC signal at the base. … Base current is now less than before, because the difference in potential across base resistor is less than before.
If base current is less, collector current is less, right? …
