Board-level designers often have concerns about the proper way to handle grounding for integrated circuits (ICs) which have separate analog and digital grounds. Should the two be completely separate ...

Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

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 ...

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.

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

A diode may look small, but it plays a crucial role in controlling how electricity flows. This video explains how diodes ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

What's the harm in objectionable current, and how do you eliminate it? You should know 250.6 says objectionable current is not to flow on grounding and bonding paths, but do you know what it is, why ...
