Section outline

  • Introduction:

    Thus far our analysis has been limited for the most part to dc circuits: those circuits excited by constant or time-invariant sources. Now we will continue with AC circuits. AC or Alternating Current circuits are circuits in which the source voltage or current is time-varying. In this section, we are particularly interested in sinusoidally time-varying excitation, or simply, excitation by a sinusoid. We will also apply various circuit theorems learnt before on AC circuits.
