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 ...

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...

An AC resonant test system is designed to generate high alternating voltage by forming a resonant circuit between the reactor and the test object. By operating at or near resonance, the system can ...

When choosing a switch to use in an electrical design project, there is a perception that it is possible to use any switch, provided its current rating is greater than the maximum load in the circuit.

The increasing use of integrated circuits in modern electronic systems has resulted in a growing awareness about lightning overvoltage hazard. The integrated circuits, especially large-scale ...

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 ...
