Electrical Circuit Analysis in Electrical Engineering
The electrical circuit analysis is a set of techniques used for quantitative analysis of a circuit.
Purpose of Circuit Analysis:
The circuit analysis helps the engineers to find out the behavior of each element in the circuit. It analyzes the circuit before physically connecting it. Using pen and paper for electrical circuit drawing and calculation. This can save a lot of money and avoid a hazardous situation like a short circuit and component loss.
Elements of Circuit:
In electrical engineering, an electrical circuit is a closed loop that can pass the current from source to load. A circuit may have at least one or more than one load that absorbs power. Load elements of the circuit are passive elements. Where active elements provide power to the passive components.
Types of Analysis:
Circuit analyses are transient analysis and steady-state analysis. In the case of transient circuit analysts, the circuit is analyzed at the time of powering the circuit. In steady-state circuit analysis, the power source is considered Direct Current (DC).
3 Methods of testing a diode with multimeter and oscilloscope
Testing a diode with a digital multimeter in two ways, diode testing portion, and ohmmeter. A diode test is considered passed if it shows low resistance/voltage drop on forward bias and high resistance/voltage drop in reverse bias. A diode curve tracer uses an oscilloscope for VI characteristics graph.
