Series 12IntermediateElectronics
Circuit Intuitions
One circuit idea per Short: Thévenin shortcuts, charge sharing, op-amp limits, memory cells. Each starts from a claim that sounds wrong and ends with the computed reason it is right.

- 30Why your voltage follower is fast up and slow down✓ published
- 31You found the voltage. Now you can't trust the resistance.✓ published
- 32Close the switch. Half the energy is gone. Where did it go?✓ published
- 33Zero resistance. Half the energy still vanishes.
- 34This amplifier wants ZERO input resistance. Why?
- 35How do you cancel an error nobody measured?
- 36This resistor is making noise. Nothing is connected.
- 37The noise on a capacitor ignores the resistor. Why?
- 38Copy your amplifier once. Distortion drops from 13% to 5%. Why?
- 39One resistor took distortion from 5% to 0.2%. What did it cost?
- 40Every time your laptop reads its memory, it destroys it
