... of electrical sources. An electrical source is a device that is capable of converting nonelectric energy to electric energy and vice versa. A discharging battery converts chemical energy to electric ... than its electrical properties for the flashlight design. Electrically, we can model the connector with an ideal resistor, labeled R{. The case also serves both a mechanical and an electrical ... energy, whereas a battery being charged converts electric energy to chemical energy. A dynamo is a machine that converts mechanical energy to electric energy and vice versa. If operating in...

... identical electrical components. For example, resistors produced from the same manufacturing process can vary in value by as much as 20%. Therefore, in creating an electrical ... instrumentation systems are good examples because in the transmission of information, or data, via electric signals, the power available at the transmitter or detector is limited. Thus, transmitting ... they are concerned with the generation, transmission, and distri-bution of large quantities of electric power. If a power utility system is inefficient, a large percentage of the power generated...

... with electric fields. The source of the electric field is separation of charge, or voltage. If the voltage is varying with time, the electric field is varying with time. A time-varying electric ... capacitor is an electrical component that consists of two conductors separated by an insulator or dielectric material. The capacitor is the only device other than a battery that can store electrical ... concepts under-lying these basic elements is in order. An inductor is an electrical component that opposes any change in electrical current. It is composed of a coil of wire wound around a supporting...

... Capacitance is a linear circuit parameter that relates the current induced by a time-varying electric field to the voltage producing the field. (See page 182.) Inductors and capacitors are ... voltage divider just as the series resistor circuit did in Chapter 3. In both voltage-divider circuits, the output voltage does not depend on the component values but only on their ratio. Here,...
