This tutorial will showcase how inductance, capacitance and resistance affect alternating current. A circuit may have the alternating current through it and the voltage across it rising and failing ...

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 ...

The rules of the National Electrical Code are written for people who have a pre-existing knowledge of electricity. In order to make sense of the Code, you must first understand basic electrical ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

This Idea For Design shows how a gyrator circuit can be used to perform certain ac tests on units under test that require a dc-current feed. Designers have long used the gyrator circuit to create a ...
