was sent to Ali Sheikholeslami, author
of the "Circuit Intuitions" column.

A Clear Visualization
Dear Prof. Sheikholeslami,
I just wanted to say a big thank
you for doing such a great job in writing the "Circuit Intuition" articles! I'm

my junior year (computer engineering major) and, like many students,
I find it frustratingly hard to develop
intuition for some of the concepts
and material covered in class.
