The resistor is one of the simpler electronic components. Engineers seldom examine resistor characteristics until there's a resistor-related problem with a circuit design. You can probably resolve 90% ...

Woodward notes a PWM nonlinearity in a DI that software can't fix, and presents a potential solution: adjusting resistor ...

A few years ago, there was a stir about a new fundamental component called a memristor. That wasn’t the first time a new component type was theorized though. In 1948 [Bernard Tellegen] postulated the ...

Potential difference in series circuits Try the experiment online Resistors in series Test your knowledge Resistance ® close resistance (R)How difficult it is for current to flow. increases when ...

A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs, switch a ...

A total accident led to the discovery of a medical device that's helped extend people's lives and get a vital organ back on ...
