This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

In the Feb. 22 issue of RWEE, we asked: What is skin effect in alternating current and what is its relationship to current flow? a. Skin effect is the tendency of all current flow on printed circuit ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful ...

Troubleshooting refrigeration equipment often requires measuring various electrical properties such as voltages, current flows, and resistances. Understanding these basic electrical fundamentals and ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...

If you think about an asylum, there are two kinds of people in it: staff and patients. We aren’t sure which one [Nick Lucid] is in the latest The Science Asylum video that tries to answer the question ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

Q. The Code prohibits "objectionable currents;" what is this, what are some examples, and how can it be prevented? A. Section 250.6 of the 2011 NEC addresses objectionable current. First of all, the ...
