Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, ...

This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also shows that a graphical representation of this transformation as a function of ...

Look at almost any circuit, and it’s nearly sure that there will be a capacitor included in it. These two-terminal electrical components rank alongside resistors.

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

The current flowing in a series circuit is the same everywhere. Figure caption, A series circuit with two bulbs and one cell. The ammeter will read the same at points 1, 2 or 3. In series circuits, ...

Decreased system reliability due to overloaded power supplies is a common engineering challenge. In this Q&A-style article submitted by Allied Electronic & Automation, David Norton, technical ...

When resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents through each resistor. In other words the currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to the ...

In conventional computers, wiring between transistors is required to enable the execution of Boolean logic functions. This has resulted in processors in which ...
