Q&A Finding voltage gain of Hartley oscillator

I'm not going to get into rigorous analysis. My perception is that you're getting hung up on details and forgetting to think what the overall circuit is doing and how it works. I'll therefore sti...

Q&A Re model of transistor is the same in 2 different configuration

Q&A What reactance actually is?

"React" implies a response to an "event". For an inductor, the "event" is a change in current, $\frac{di}{dt}$ For a capacitor, the "event" is a change in voltage, $\frac{dv}{dt}$ $$$$ So, ...

Q&A How to operate a chip very close to its absolute maximum voltage?

3.6 V is not the absolute maximum voltage. The table you show explicitly says "Recommended Operating Conditions". Therefore, running the chip up to 3.6 V is perfectly fine.
