Relationship between f1/f2 with R/C or R/L8:38
In this video, we will talk about the fact that the values of f1 and f2 on the graph of output versus frequency of a high pass or low pass filter (RL or RC circuit) depend on the chosen values of the resistor, capacitor and the inductor.

Higher Order Filters9:58
In this video, we will introduce higher order filters that can be created by using a number of filters in series. The result would be a higher number of inductors or capacitor (in total) in the filter circuit, resulting in an output voltage versus frequency graph having a higher slope.

Requirements

All the previous courses in the learning track are prerequisites. (Basic DC electronics and basics of AC electronics)
You will have access to the learning track from the course description and from inside the course.

Description

The course used as an individual module will provide you with the following:

Theory and calculation of Output voltage, current, reactance, impedance in low pass and high pass RC and RL Circuits and the practical projects related to them
Phase shift and phasor diagrams in RL and RC circuits (Theory and practice)
Course Exercises with worked out solutions.

The course used in conjunction with all the accompanying courses in the series coming before and after it (see the series on greatitcourses website - the same name with com in the end) will enable you to have a solid and practical understanding of AC and DC electronics and to be able to design fairly advanced electronics circuits consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes, inductors, having AC or DC power sources. Those circuits could be amplifiers, filters, power supply systems, etc. You would also be able to do all the necessary calculations related to such circuits yourself.

One important characteristic of this course is that it allows you to avoid the unnecessary theory that would never be used practically in electronics while including all the practical important theory, thereby saving you a lot of time in the process.

The main characteristics of this series are as follows:

The series omits all the theory that you are not going to use in your work anyway, assuming that you don't want to do anything very complicated in electronics, for example design a full-fledged frequency counter, but you still want to be able to design and build fairly complicated circuits like amplifiers, filters, etc.
You will be able to do all the necessary calculations related to your own designs.
You will have all the practical skills to work with different pieces of test equipment like oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc.
You will be provided with useful end of course exercises that will solidify your learning.

In short, the series will teach you the tricks of the trade. It will teach you practical electronics in a relatively short amount of time.

To course code for this course is "22". You can use the code to refer to this course in your communication with us.

Who this course is for:

Anybody who wants to learn basic analog electronics (Theory, calculation and practical).
