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 ...

The rules of the National Electrical Code are written for people who have a pre-existing knowledge of electricity. In order to make sense of the Code, you must first understand basic electrical ...

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 ...

If you want to measure resistance and you know Ohm’s law, it seems like you have an easy answer, right? Feed a known current through the thing you want to measure and read the voltage required. A ...

To investigate experimentally how the resistance of a metallic conductor at constant temperature depends on length and obtain sufficient values to plot a graph of resistance (y-axis) and length ...

The “trimpot” is the standard solution to the analog designer’s occasional need to fine-tune a resistance in a precision circuit. But this old standby isn’t always available. For example, in some ...
