DC Circuits
OBJECTIVES
TERMINAL OBJECTIVE
1.0
Using the rules associated with inductors and capacitors, DESCRIBE the
characteristics of these elements when they are placed in a DC circuit.
ENABLING OBJECTIVES
1.1
DESCRIBE how current flow, magnetic field, and stored energy in an inductor
relate to one another.
1.2
DESCRIBE how an inductor opposes a change in current flow.
1.3
Given a circuit containing inductors, CALCULATE total inductance for series
and parallel circuits.
1.4
Given an inductive resistive circuit, CALCULATE the time constant for the
circuit.
1.5
DESCRIBE the construction of a capacitor.
1.6
DESCRIBE how a capacitor stores energy.
1.7
DESCRIBE how a capacitor opposes a change in voltage.
1.8
Given a circuit containing capacitors, CALCULATE total capacitance for series and
parallel circuits.
