Perhaps it’s a side-effect of getting older, but it seems like reading the color bands on blue metal-film resistors is harder ... to plug into one side of a breadboard with the idea being ...

Sometimes, it's the little things that are just so darn handy to have around. I'm often confronted with having to choose a parallel pair of resistors to get as close as possible to some non-standard ...

But in some situations–for example, in classrooms–it is very attractive to have a chip that is directly mountable on a common breadboard ... could dump the 220 ohm resistors, too.

When resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents through each resistor. In other words the currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to ...

If you've ever wanted one of those flashy binary clocks but wanted to do it yourself (or simply have a fetish for that breadboard-'n'-resistors look), here's how. If any of the following quotation ...

In this circuit the following applies. When resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents through each resistor. The currents in the branches of a ...
