Resistors are small but essential components that manage how electricity moves through a circuit. This video explains how ...

Twelve volts was a big deal when domestic manufacturers adopted it in the '50s. Doubling their voltage from 6 made electrical systems comparatively efficient and the increased power ushered in a new ...

What analog designer hasn't had to derive a nonstandard resistor value by using series/parallel combinations of standard resistor values? In efforts to avoid a production trimpot tweak, we can use 0.1 ...

This resistor with bands of red, violet, yellow, and gold has a value of 270,000 ohms (270kΩ) with a tolerance of ±5%. \( \begin{eqnarray*}\text{R}_\text{t ...

The previous tutorials featured resistors in direct current (DC) circuits wherein the voltage and current have been assumed to be of constant polarity, flow and direction. The voltage, current and ...

A potential divider, also known as a voltage divider, is a simple yet essential circuit used to reduce voltage to a desired level. It consists of two resistors connected in series close seriesA way of ...

This video explains how resistors function and how Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electronic circuits. Resistors are passive components used to control ...

There is a global trend to increase efficiencies in all types of equipment. Learn how current sense resistors provide accurate current measurement in useful application examples to meet this need.

The well-known Kirchhoff’s current law is often used in linear circuit analysis. It’s also called Kirchhoff ’s first law, Kirchhoff ’s point rule, Kirchhoff ’s junction rule, and Kirchhoff ’s first ...
