AC Circuits and Filters

It is possible to generate electricity by spinning a coil within a magnetic field. A sinusoidal voltage is generated as a result of this spinning coil.

The animation below shows the input and output of the differentiator circuit. The signal Generator provides a 1 kHz square wave input to RC circuit. C is provided by a virtual capacitance decade box.

Vertical sensitivity = 1 volt/cm
Horizontal sensitivity = .2 ms/cm
