Term
What is the rms value of an AC voltage and how is it calculated?
Definition
For an alternating electric current, the RMS value is equal to the value of the DC value that would produce the same average power dissipation in a resistive load.

Term
Derivation for the voltage equation of a Inductor and it's time constant.
Definition

This also includes the AC equations based of the impedance Z = jwL.
The voltage v and current i have a 90 degree phase difference (i lags behind v).
Term
How is imperfection shown for an inductor and capacitor?
Definition
[image]
Series for inductor and parallel for capacitor.
Term
How can Inductance/Capacitance be analysed in terms of magnitude and phase of the voltage/current/impedance?

Term
Power and Voltage gain
Definition

Term
What is the important transition?
Definition
Where voltage gain is decreased to 70% (by a factor of root(2)). Where power is reduced by a factor of 2. And if on the decibel scale, where the log ratio is reduced by 3 dB.
