NOT many years ago a certain type of journalist used to compare and contrast the theorist and the practical man, to the demolition of the former and the apotheosis of the latter. Fortunately, such ...

The Basics of Vector Analysis Part 1 The Basics of Vector Analysis Part 2 The Basics of Vector Analysis Part 4 Last month, we saw how you can use vectors to define complex circuits and determine ...

These diagrams are curves in which the radius vector represents in magnitude and direction the resultant of the disturbing forces to which we may attribute the diurnal variation of the horizontal ...

The Basics of Vector Analysis Part 3 Last month, we showed how you could use vector diagrams and simple math to calculate neutral currents in 3-phase, 4-wire circuits. In this last installment, we'll ...

Vector diagrams can be used to resolve the pulling force into a horizontal component acting to the right and a vertical component acting upwards.
