In a parallel circuit, if a lamp breaks or a component is disconnected, the other components continue working. This is because current continues to flow along remaining paths in the circuit.

Board-level designers often have concerns about the proper way to handle grounding for integrated circuits (ICs) which have separate analog and digital grounds. Should the two be completely separate ...

Potential difference in series circuits Try the experiment online Resistors in series Test your knowledge Resistance ® close resistance (R)How difficult it is for current to flow. increases when ...

Any current flow not equal to zero is a ground-fault. Depending on the impedance of the parallel neutral paths, the ground-fault protection relay may see current flow above its pickup point, causing ...

We talk about electrical current — just like current in a stream. Many introductory books on electricity try to relate voltage to water pressure, electric current to water flow, and resistance ...

Knowing the deadly effects of resistance, voltage drop, and heat buildup, you should be careful choosing parts to be placed in a circuit exposed to high amounts of current flow.

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Despite their designed current-handling capacity, such circuits still need current limiters and circuit breakers to protect them from fault conditions.

ROHM Semiconductor today announced the development of the TLR1901GXZ, an ultra-compact CMOS operational amplifier (op amp) that achieves the industry’s lowest operating circuit current. Optimized for ...

Circuit breakers are a safety feature that automatically interrupts the flow of electricity in the face of a system fault or ...
