Linear Circuits 1 - 10 - Voltage & Current Division, Part 1
Requirements
- High School or College Physics
- We Also Recommend Our Previous Linear Circuits Classes
Description
Day 10 of Linear Circuits. We introduce the concept and equations for voltage division and current division. These directly stem from what we have already learned about Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Current Law, and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law.
The material covers all of the lecture material from an tenth lecture in a traditional, sophomore-level linear circuits class.
