Abstract :
This analysis indicates how, with the aid of a few elementary transformation theorems, the operation of electric circuits, machinery, and vibrations of all kinds may be visualized and their limitations and possibilities discerned without the aid of extensive mathematical formulas. A graphical method for the solution of alternating-current (ac) circuits is developed and discussed. Certain characteristics of circuits are identified which greatly simplify the graphical solutions of circuits and indicates a method for the computation of charts showing changes upon individual units comprising the system.
