You're probably familiar with the old-fashioned strings of holiday lights that go out completely if one bulb burns out. Although these lights cause hours of frustration during the holidays, they also ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

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 ...

If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

I learned some basic electronics in high school physics class: resistors, capacitors, Kirchhoff’s law and such, and added only what was required for projects as I did them. Then around 15 years ago I ...
