Current step to LC circuit
An inductor is a device which adjusts its voltage to keep the same current flowing through. However, the current exponentially decays when there is no source any more. Similarly, a capacitor is a ...

How to the calculate the value of capacitor placed in series with transformer to avoid flux walking in a buck converter? [closed]
The dc value of current in primary increases(in -ve direction) as time passes, so I need a capacitor in series with transformer, but don't know what value capacitor should I use.
filter capacitor = 1 ...
