Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

OBJECTIVE: You will wind (and test) your own inductor, which you will also use in the AM radio project in a subsequent lab. You will also investigate the properties of capacitors by making a simple ...

Of the three basic passive components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—inductors are the least ideal and, therefore, the most difficult to model. The importance of a good model is that it not only ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...
