When you need a multimeter for testing electrical equipment around the home, it's vital to know what all those symbols around the dial mean.

Current is a measure of how much electric charge flows through a circuit. The more charge that flows, the bigger the current. Current is measured in amperes. The symbol for ampere is A. For example, ...

The circuit was developed to produce a continuity tester with a low resistance mainly for checking the connections between soldered joints. Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) – a DC coupled high gain ...

Measuring a voltage is pretty easy: just place your multimeter’s probes across the relevant pins and read the value. Probing currents is a bit trickier, since you need to open up the circuit and place ...

Author Mazi Hosseini describes a simple, low-cost, voltage-controlled current source using two op amps that provides a good range of current and maximum load. One challenge in circuit design is ...

In 2008, Kendall Castor-Perry began an extended investigation into the effect that bypass capacitor selection has on analog circuit performance. Five years on, we’re re-posting this classic series, ...

This is called electromagnetic induction close electromagnetic inductionThe production of a potential difference (voltage) when a conductor, such as a wire, is moved through a magnetic field or ...

Testing your 240V circuit breaker panels is also important to ensure all of the wiring going into the individual breakers has not become loose or broken. “It’s also good to look at it and just make ...

According to ROHM, its ultra-compact TLR1901GXZ CMOS op amp is the industry’s lowest operating circuit current. The op amp is ...
