====== Electronics ======
In this section we'll discuss the three basic electronic components:
^Name ^Property ^Unit ^ Symbol ^ Picture ^Source |
|Resistor (R) |Resistance |Ohm (Ω) | {{r.png}} | {{resistors.jpeg?100|}} |[[wp>Resistor]] |
|Inductor (L) |Inductance |Henry (H) | {{l.png}} | {{inductors.png}} |[[wp>Inductor]] |
|Capacitor (C) |Capacitance |Farad (F) | {{c.png}} | {{capacitors.jpeg?100}} |[[wp>Capacitor]] |
===== Resistor =====
The easiest component to start with is the resistor.
Resistors have many usage:

===== RLC Impedance =====

^Impedance (Ω) ^Low Frequency ^ Medium Frequency ^ High Frequency |
|Resistance, R | Doesn't depend on frequency |||
|Inductive Reactance \\ \$X_L = 2\pi f L\$ | Low | Medium | High |
|Capacitive Reactance \\ \$X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi f C}\$ | High | Medium | Low |
===== RLC Addition =====

| ::: | \$L = L_1 + L_2\$ | \$\frac{1}{L} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2}\$ |
|\\ \\ \\ Capacitor, C [F] | \\ {{c_series.png}} | {{c_parallel.png}} |
| ::: | \$\frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2}\$ | \$C = C_1 + C_2\$ |
