Inductor voltage
v = L di/dt
Capacitor current
i = C dV/dt
Inductor Energy
1/2 L i²
Energy in a magnetic circuit
½ * Φ² * S
(For energy in the air gap, use just reluctance of the air gap)
Passive sign convention for a Load
Current into +
Power is +ive
Passive Sign Convention Vab
Vab = Va - Vb
(arrow goes from b to a)
Passive sign convention for a Power Source
Current into -
Power is -ive
Capacitors in Series
1/C = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + …
Capacitors in Parallel
C = C1 + C2 + C3 + …
Energy in a Capacitor
½CV²
Ripple Voltage
Max - Min
(The difference in voltage during the ripple)
