Circuits often have more complex combinations of resistances than simple series or parallel relationships, and figuring out

equivalent resistances isn t always easy. You need to use matrix mathematics to analyse them, and because this book isn t a maths book, we re not going to get caught up in a matrix. Ohm s Law voltage divider surface mount technology(SMT) printed circuit boards (PCBs)

This process is known as capacitive coupling or AC coupling, and when used this way, the capacitor is known as a coupling capacitor. RC time constant band-pass and bandreject filters, capacitive reactance
