We use batteries to supply power in several projects. The chemicals contained in the battery are converted into an electrical current, which in turn makes the battery contain the potential energy.

Why get up close and personal with a resistor when you can tweak it from a distance? Remote variable resistors make analog circuit control easier, neater, and a lot more fun. Well, we are about to ...

In the design of power supplies, the desired output voltages can be set manually. This is accomplished in most integrated power supply circuits, as well as switching and linear regulator ICs, with the ...

When we do textbook analysis, we tend to ignore the real-world concerns for the sake of learning. So, a typical theoretical voltage divider is simply two resistors. But if you examine a low-pass RC ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The vision of electric vehicles (EVs) as a primary transportation platform is slowly coming of age. EVs are moving away from being seen as eclectic to ...

While almost always called "potentiometers" (which are technically defined as three-terminal variable voltage dividers), many "pots" actually end up being used as variable resistors (rheostats) ...

Voltage coefficient, measured in ppm/V, is negative for most materials. Voltage coefficient is generally measured between 10% and full rated voltage. Voltage coefficient (VC) is usually experienced ...

a voltage divider reduces the voltage in a circuit the resistance value of the resistors will set the output voltage potential dividers can be two resistors connected in series across a circuit it is ...
