Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

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 ...

The two resistors have the same current through them. The potential difference across them will be different if they have different resistances. The total resistance (\(R_{T}\)) for this circuit is ...

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 ...

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.

Down through the centuries in which electricity remained a natural mystery, and later a fashionable novelty, it turned up only in the form we would term today direct current (DC), that is, with ...

Abstract: In this paper, optimization of the winding AC resistance of the flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) wire windings is performed. A one-dimensional model of the FPCB winding is introduced ...

High-voltage circuits need strong, reliable capacitors. TDK claims that the low-resistance capacitors stay stable under stress, save space, and make devices work better. The actual appearance of the ...
