Re: Phase in AC Circuits

["Bob Sciamanda" <trebor@velocity.net>]

Let me just add that you might add PSPICE simulations to your repetoire
of demos for such phenomena.  In some ways it is better than the hardware
demo - eg., it shows initial transients that you don't see on the
repetitive scope display; multiple displays of "floating" voltage
differences are routine, etc.   Version 8.0 of Microsim PSPICE is
available free (Evaluation version) on a CDROM with all manuals.  E-mail
me and I'll recover info on getting it.  The eval version is fully
functional but limited to ten transistors per circuit, etc.  (This is
Windows only, no Mac version.)
