CHAPTER 13

imageComplex RLC Circuit Analysis

Chapter 12introduced phasor algebra techniques that could be used to solve ac circuit problems. Imaginary numbers, complex numbers, and the j-operator were introduced. This chapter will show how to apply those concepts to solve RLC circuits which would be very difficult to solve using other methods.

At the end of this chapter you should be able to:

1. Calculate the sum, product, difference, or quotient of two or more j-operator terms.

2. Determine the sum, product, difference, or quotient of two or more complex numbers in rectangular form (R + jX).

3. Determine the product or quotient of two or more complex ...
