The resistor is one of the simpler electronic components. Engineers seldom examine resistor characteristics until there's a resistor-related problem with a circuit design. You can probably resolve 90% ...

A potential divider, also known as a voltage divider, is a simple yet essential circuit used to reduce voltage to a desired level. It consists of two resistors connected in series close seriesA way of ...

Twelve volts was a big deal when domestic manufacturers adopted it in the '50s. Doubling their voltage from 6 made electrical systems comparatively efficient and the increased power ushered in a new ...

A precision voltage divider produces a specific fraction of its input voltage using carefully matched resistive components.

A blast from the Elektor archives: this 1998 battery tester uses a simple LED display to reveal a battery’s true condition ...

Chua’s circuit is the simplest electronic circuit that produces chaos—the output of this circuit never repeats the same sequence, and is a truly random signal. If you need a good source of randomness, ...

A few years ago, there was a stir about a new fundamental component called a memristor. That wasn’t the first time a new component type was theorized though. In 1948 [Bernard Tellegen] postulated the ...

In late April of 1968, a computer conference in Atlantic City, N.J., got off to a rocky start. A strike by telephone ...

Figure 1: Comparison between conventional and PT-symmetry-based wireless power transfer schemes as the source–receiver resonant coupling rate κ varies as a function of transfer distance d. Figure 3: ...
