AI Thread Summary
R2 and C1 in the IG1 circuit function to dampen oscillations in the sine wave by creating a simple RC circuit. The capacitor (C1) charges and discharges, which influences the current flow and results in a compensating voltage drop across the resistor (R2). This interaction helps stabilize the circuit by reducing fluctuations in the current supply. Understanding this relationship is crucial for analyzing the circuit's performance. The fundamental theory behind this damping effect is rooted in the principles of RC circuits and their response to changing currents.

Okay, I've re-tooled my question.

What role do R2 and C1 play in dampening a sine wave on the current supply IG1 in the following circuit?

I want to understand the fundamental theory behind this.

What are your thoughts so far?
 
cuz its a simple RC circuit. that's why. the changing current that the cap pulls induces a "compensating" voltage drop in R2.
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
