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 ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) For all signal-chain devices to operate properly, each requires a stable-voltage power ...

Such a solver is working on a truly 3-dimensional description of the structure under observation. In order to solve a given structure, that structure needs to be 'meshed', which means it is divided ...

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...
