Vishay’s Power Metal Strip meter shunt resistors WSMS2906 and WSBS8518 feature a proprietary processing technique that produces extremely low resistance values and a high power to resistor size ratio.

I have often wondered whether the practice of using a ratio of two resistors to determine a particular output is a fundamental property of electronics or a concerted effort by designers. In either ...

The resistive voltage divider—a basic circuit taught in every introductory electronics course—may cause some problems during its implementation. If you've ever stood in front of a resistor kit while ...
