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 ...

In Part 1, it was explained that the SPICE simulation tool allows you to analyze the behavior of electronic circuits in precise detail. This installment will analyze the RC time constant, which ...

In a way, the magic of a soil moisture sensor’s functionality boils down to a simple RC circuit. But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how ...
