Which lectures teach each point of this specification, and where.
SpecificationQualifications Scotland (formerly SQA)Scotland. Reactance is mandatory content; filters and Fourier analysis appear only as suggested activities. Checked against the board's specification (Version 3.1, September 2026) on 28 October 2026. Each point is summarised in our words; its page number leads to the exact wording. This mapping is ours: no exam board has endorsed this site, and the lectures do not cover the whole specification.
