... Daniel Wybrow Resistor/Capacitor Networks Abstract Resistor/capacitor circuits, and High and Low Pass filters are investigated and certain theories validated using experimental techniques as well as theoretical solutions. Measurements are recorded and tabulated, and also where necessary results are shown graphically.

Circuits P-IE-RC-1, P-IE-RC-2, P-IE-RC-3, P-IE-RC-4 Introduction When using a voltage or current that varies, certain components that would not work with a direct current become functional. The capacitor is this type of component. It is made up of two conducting pieces of material that are a small
