Week Three – Reflection on Gibilisco Reading
For week three, I jumped into Part II dealing with alternating current basics. The following three chapters dealt with alternating current basics, inductance and capacitance.
The ninth chapter on alternating current basics was interesting in that the chapter mainly dealt with waveforms. This has been the common thread through everything I have been reading.
Chapter ten dealt with inductance. I think this chapter would help in the design of a nice, beefy power supply. Generally inductors are used in analog circuits and signal processing.
The eleventh chapter on capacitance was immediately useful. The Confidence Boost pedal I build used several capacitors in the circuit and this chapter helped explain what they were used for.
