You're probably familiar with the old-fashioned strings of holiday lights that go out completely if one bulb burns out. Although these lights cause hours of frustration during the holidays, they also ...

Most every device and electronic piece of equipment is outfitted with a printed circuit board (PCB), including smartphones, TVs, appliances, and more. You know the composite. The boards are laminated ...

Impedance matching is easy if you know the basics. Download the eBook to find out how. During impedance matching, a specific electronic load (R L) is made to match a generator output impedance (R g) ...

This video explains how resistors function and how Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electronic circuits. Resistors are passive components used to control ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

Accountants and MBAs use spreadsheets to play “what if” scenarios with business and financial data. Can you do the same thing with electronic circuits? The answer–perhaps not surprisingly–is yes.
