Question1
What is the common name for a non-inverting feedback op-amp circuit where the output is equal to the input, and what purpose does this type of op amp circuit configuration serve?
Question 2
In a 1st order circuit, what is the significance of τ (tau)? [provide the name, how it is determined, and tell me how it impacts the response of the circuit to a step function input]
Question 3
Capacitors and inductors are said to be energy storage devices because they store energy, and are sometimes called “reactive” devices because they react to changes in applied energy
(a) In what form is energy stored in a capacitor?
(b) In what form is energy stored in an inductor?
(c) The ______________ in a capacitor cannot change instantaneously.
(d) The ______________ in an inductor cannot change instantaneously.
Question 4
When a DC circuit is at equilibrium, capacitors are analyzed as _______________ and inductors are analyzed as _____________________
Question 5
The natural response of an RLC circuit is a function of the damping factor α and the undamped natural frequency ω0. The damping factor can be less than, greater than, or equal to the undamped natural frequency. Describe the form of the natural frequency under each of these three conditions – for full credit, provide the term that describes each condition, and describe the mathematical form of the solution in each case.
Question 6
Describe the steps for how to use the principle of superposition to solve a circuit with more than one source
Question7
Order each of these lists from smallest to largest:
(a) R, R || R, R in series with R
(b) C, C || C, C in series with C
(c) L, L || L, L in series with L
