AI Thread Summary

For beginners in linear circuit analysis, finding a clear reference for understanding circuit diagrams is essential. A recommended resource is the HyperPhysics website, which provides accessible explanations and visuals. Users express frustration with textbooks that assume prior knowledge, highlighting the need for beginner-friendly materials. Engaging with online resources can bridge the gap for those new to the subject. Overall, utilizing dedicated educational websites can significantly aid in grasping circuit diagram concepts.

Hey guys, just started a class in linear circuit analysis. I have never had any education on reading circuit diagrams (even basic ones), so could you guys recommend a nice reference? The book doesn't even help; it also assumes I've had some past experience.

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...
