Diffentiation and integration in electronic circuit

AI Thread Summary
Inductors and capacitors serve as fundamental components for differentiation and integration in electronic circuits. An inductor's induced voltage is proportional to the rate of change of current, illustrating differentiation through the equation E = L.di/dt. Conversely, a capacitor's charge is the product of current and time, representing integration as it correlates to the area under the current versus time graph. The voltage across a capacitor is linked to its charge, expressed as V = 1/C ∫i.dt. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing circuit behavior in electronics.

greetings,

how a inductor and capacitor can perform differentiation and integration respectively?
any help would be appreciated .

Do you know that for an inductor the induced voltage is proportional to the rate of change of current?
Usually written as E = L.di/dt. This means that E is proportional to the gradient of an i against t graph. This is a basic picture of differentiation.
For a capacitor the charge on a capacitor is the product of current x time. This means that charge is proportional to the area under a graph of i against t. This is the basis of integration.
The voltage across a capacitor is proportional to the charge (V = Q/C) and this is usually written as V =1/C ∫i.dt
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
