Doing a Smith chart plot of this circuit yields the following result. Figure 2 This is a Smith chart plot for the circuit in Figure 1. The left side of Figure 2 is simply the Smith chart for limited ...

Adding more components to a series circuit increases the total resistance in the circuit, so less current flows. The circuit on the left contains a lamp, a cell, a switch, and an ammeter. 4 A of ...

Even once you understand this, designing a circuit with impedance matching is a tricky task, and it’s here that [Ralph Gable]’s introduction to impedance matching is helpful.
