RC SERIES CIRCUIT
| INTRODUCTION |
|
The RC and RL series circuits are the first to be studied in the Electric Circuits courses when energy storage are first introduced. They are very simple and useful to address the concepts of transient and steady state behaviors in the time domain. When the frequency domain is considered, they serve to understand the frequency response and filtering. This simulator object focuses on the RC Series Circuit.

The simulations of the RC Series Circuit are performed online and in real time using Scilab (https://www.scilab.org/). Scilab is connected to the Maxwell System so that it executes its functions using this system as its front end to the Internet.
What is Scilab? See the answer to this question of the Scilab page https://www.scilab.org/about.
What is Scilab?
Scilab is a free and open source software for engineers & scientists, with a long history (first release in 1994) and a growing community (100 000 downloads every months worldwide).
Scilab is available under de GPL License . What does it mean? You have the freedom to:
* use the software for any purpose
