In some ways, the very term “voltage divider” explains itself. It refers to a simple, passive circuit in which multiple resistors are used in order to divide a ...

Capacitors with unique construction and failure modes are placed on the AC line to manage EMI modes and ensure user safety.

At last, some 'spare' time this weekend, and I learned two things about SCR dc motor control: Permanent magnet dc motors need ...

The two diagrams above are of the same circuit for a simple night light. How it works: when darkness falls on the light dependant resistor (LDR), its resistance increases causing a higher voltage ...

You’re driving at night, and out of the corner of your eye, you notice it—your headlights flicker for just a second. Maybe it ...
