The film explains the fundamentals of electricity, including static and current electricity, the behavior of electrons, and the concept of electrical circuits. It demonstrates how static electricity ...

A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

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 . . .

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

In the Feb. 22 issue of RWEE, we asked: What is skin effect in alternating current and what is its relationship to current flow? a. Skin effect is the tendency of all current flow on printed circuit ...

Many times choosing between using a Fuse or PTC is a matter of preference, though there are important considerations and common areas of applications where the use of one may be better than the other.

Q. The Code prohibits "objectionable currents;" what is this, what are some examples, and how can it be prevented? A. Section 250.6 of the 2011 NEC addresses objectionable current. First of all, the ...
