What’s your favorite value of resistor? 1K? 10K? They’re all fine, but when you need nearly no resistance at all, nothing beats the good old zero-ohm resistor. Wait a minute! Resistors are supposed to ...

The electrical system of an automobile is likely the system understood the least by most Mopar owners, but compared to late-model vehicles the electrical and ignition system of a classic Chrysler ...

Recently, an international commission proposed a revised definition of obesity that focuses on how excess body fat affects the body, and factors in waist circumference, rather than simply calculating ...

With surface-mount components quickly becoming the norm, even for homebrew hardware, the resistor color-code can sometimes feel a bit old-hat. However, anybody who has ever tried to identify a random ...

An electronic component that is used to vary the amount of current that flows through a circuit. It works by sliding a wiper terminal across a resistive material, typically a thin film or chunk of ...

Dr. Jauhar is a cardiologist at Northwell Health in New York, where Dr. Patel and Dr. Smith are the directors of the center for heart failure and transplant. People die in many ways, but in medicine ...

Moving the position of the slider on this resistor, changes the length of wire in the circuit which changes the resistance. A variable resistor is used in some dimmer switches and volume controls. As ...

The energy barrier separating the two stable directions of ordered spins in ferromagnets is partly due to the macroscopic moment and the dipolar shape anisotropy fields present in the sample. Another ...

Whether its buck, boost, or buck/boost, internal or external switch, milliamps or tens of amps, a literal cornucopia of programmable output switching regulator/converter chips are commercially ...
