RL and CR circuit pulse train response

AI Thread Summary
Understanding pulse train response in RL and CR circuits can be challenging, especially when transitioning from LR and RC circuits. Key concepts include using the snapshot method for voltage equations and recognizing the significance of time constants (τ) and peak voltage (Vm). For RL and CR circuits, the peak voltage can be approximated at 5RC, with calculations based on the pulse duration. Resources for further reading on this topic are recommended to clarify these concepts. Mastering these principles is essential for effectively analyzing circuit responses.

i'm having a LOT of trouble understanding pulse train response in RL and CR circuits... could someone please recommend a good reading over the internet...
i understand LR and RC response fairly better... and use the snapshot idea to get voltage equations etc... but its very confusing and i haven't been able to find a book that explains all this very well...
in our book they've given us Vh and Vl as the highest and lowest values and given formulae for that for RC and LR circuits... in terms of t,\tau and Vm which is the voltage supplied...
and i sort of get that... but then they asked us to get the peak value for an RL / CR circuit in terms of \tau , t and Vm and i was pretty much lost... i don't know wat I'm missing but..
is there any reading or anything or anyone who can help?? please

At 5RC the peak voltage on a capacitor approximates Vin.
If Vin is on less than 5RC just compute the time on the exponential that matches the length of the pulse to get the peak voltage.

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...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
