Discussion Question 1:
What is an electrical transformer? Discuss basic principles of operation and applications of electrical transformers. Can you relate electromagnetic induction to the operation a transformer?
Discussion Question 2:
Discuss similarities and differences between RL and RLC Circuits. How can one tell if an RLC circuit is underdamped or overdamped? What are some applications of RLC Circuits?
A.

Explain the basic operation of an operation amplifier. What are
the most significant characteristics of such a device and in
designing a circuit what parameters of the device must be
considered?
Explain basic flight principles of a helicopter. How is thrust
produced? How is lift produced? How do flight controls operate in a
helicopter? Is there drag during helicopter flight? What is
translational lift? What happens if when helicopter losses
engine(s) power? (make illustrations)
