Analogue Circuit
Analog circuits can be defined as a complex combination of op amps,
resistors, caps, and other basic electronic components. These circuits
can be as simple as a combination of two resistors to make a voltage
divider or elegantly built with many components. Such circuits can
attenuate, amplify, isolate, modify, distort the signal, or even convert
the original one into a digital signal.

The first two colored bands indicate the first and second digit
of the value and the third color band represents the multiplier
number of zeroes added. The fourth color band indicates the
tolerance value.
The color code is given by several bands. Together they specify the
resistance value, the tolerance, and sometimes the reliability or failure
rate.
The number of bands varies from three to six. At a minimum, two
bands indicate the resistance value and one band serves as multiplier.
The resistance values are standardized; these values are called
preferred values.
For this example, the resistor color code bands can be grouped into 2
groups according to the space between the multiplier band and the
tolerance band. Place the larger group on the left and the smaller
group on the right and read the resistor from left to right.

Calculating Resistor Color Codes
6 Band Resistor Color Code
Again, we check the resistor color code chart for red, violet and
yellow, and the first, second and third bands give the significant
digits of 2,7 and 4 respectively. The fourth band is black, giving a
multiplier value of 100 .

Hence, we will get a resistance value of 274 100 = 274Ω. The fifth
±
tolerance band gives a tolerance value of 2%. The sixth band is
black and gives a temperature coefficient value of 250 ppm/K.
When two plates having same area A, and equal width are placed
parallel to each other with a separation of distance d, and if some
energy is applied to the plates, then the capacitance of that parallel
plate capacitor can be termed as;
With some voltage applied, the charge deposits on the two parallel
plates of the capacitor. This charge deposition occurs slowly and
when the voltage across the capacitor equals the voltage applied, the
charging stops, as the voltage entering equals the voltage leaving.
The rate of charging depends upon the value of capacitance. The
greater the value of capacitance, the slower the rate of change of
voltage in the plates.

CAPACITORS
Working of a Capacitor
A Capacitor can be understood as a two-terminal passive component
which stores electrical energy. This electrical energy is stored in
electrostatic field.
Charging of a Capacitor
While the negative potential of the supply, forces the electrons to the
negative plate of the capacitor, making it more negative. The figure
below explains this.
Charging of a Capacitor
When the voltage across the capacitor reaches the same voltage as
the source, it is considered fully charged. At this point, no more
current flows, and the capacitor stores the maximum amount of
energy it can hold for the given voltage and capacitance.
The Capacitor Charging Graph is the graph that shows how many
time constants a voltage must be applied to a capacitor before the
capacitor reaches a given percentage of the applied voltage.
If the charge increases further, the orbits expand more. But if it still
increases, the dielectric breaks down shorting the capacitor. Now, the
capacitor being fully charged, it’s ready to get discharged.
Discharging of a capacitor
The voltage across the capacitor at any given time (t) during
discharge can be described using the formula:
