1. Fourier series can be used to analyze circuits involving sinusoidal steady state analysis by representing sinusoidal voltages and currents as phasors. This allows circuit analysis using complex impedances.
2. Applications of Fourier series include power spectrum analyzers, which use the Fourier transform to break down complex signals into their frequency components, audio equalizers, which filter sound waves in specific frequencies, and ECG machines, which model the periodic heartbeats using Fourier series.
