Problem Set 08 : Resistor , Capacitor combinations and reduction

Remember :
Resistors R1 and R2  in series Req = R1+R2 
Resistors R1 and R2 in parallel Req = R1R2/(R1+R2)
Capacitors C1 and C2  in series Ceq = C1C2/(C1+C2)
Capacitors C1 and C2 in parallel Ceq = C1 + C2

Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor (RLC) ; Kirchoff's current and voltage laws; Star-Delta & Delta to Star Transformation

Dear Students,

All electronic systems are made up of a variety of devices with diverse characteristics. However, the basic elements in every circuit contain Resistive , Capacitive and Inductive elements.

Without a good working knowledge of these basic and passive components, progress in this field will be impossible.

Given below is the summary of RLC components along with the laws they obey. Voltage, Current, Energy and Power expressions are also provided for ready reference.

A complete explanation will of course  be provided in the class lecture.

Application of Complex Numbers in networks : Series parallel combinations

Dear Students,

We saw how Complex numbers appear in  Engineering computations.
While the theory of complex numbers is very large, it is sufficient to limit our understanding to simple manipulations such as : addition, subtraction, division, square root of complex numbers.
We must also perfect the conversion of complex numbers  from one form to another (rectangular, polar and exponential).

The secret of confidence and ultimate success in your studies is to learn a little bit , apply it to a problem and solve it, then move to the next level.

Keep moving from theory to problems to theory as frequently as possible.
You will definitely become a pro.

Here is your problem set 03. Keep working ....

Basics of Matrices: Solution to simultaneous equations - Cramer's rule

Dear Student,

Hope you are slowly beginning to understand the need for strong math skills early in your studies.
Complex numbers is your first challenge. However, take your time to understand by forming study groups and asking the right questions.

Learn what is new and teach what you learn. This cycle of teaching and learning must be followed for strong foundation in any area of your interest.

In today's post I am sharing the basic skills required for solving algebraic equations using matrix operations.

These are very simple to understand but do not neglect practice.

Practice makes you perfect. Perfection is the hallmark of a professional. 

Complex Numbers : Basics with Exercises

Dear Student,

This will be your site for all information for our subject Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

A few  basics first.

A strong foundation and a confident beginning to your career goals will be formed during your first semester.

Focus on all subjects taught and also spend sufficient time in developing the math skills.

For the subject of BEEE during the first week, we must focus on the following :

1. Complex numbers : Definition, types of representation , conversion , arithmetic and other important tasks.

Your first set of problems are given below :  Get ...Set .....Go...!!!!
