Welcome to electrical engineering with Excel. In this video, we will look at specifications, that come to us in the form of a graph. Instead of using a ruler on paper, to get the desired answer, we will use a free web-based plot digitizer, and turn the graph into an equation, utilizing Excel’s trendline tool.
