Proper impedance paths are critical to shock prevention. The National Safety Council estimates that nearly 300 people die in the United States each year from electric shocks on 120V or 277V circuits.

The Squishy Circuits team developed this activity so that young children (including my own daughters) would have a playful way to explore circuits. Squishy Circuits use two different types of dough as ...

Explains electric current, highlighting that it originates from a battery and requires a complete circuit to flow. It compares electric current to water flowing through pipes, using meters to ...

Many hackers learned about electronics over the years with home experimenter kits from Radio Shack and its ilk. Eschewing soldering for easier screw or spring based connections, they let the ...

Circuit breakers are everywhere. If a technology, product, or piece of equipment runs on electricity, chances are it contains at least one circuit breaker to keep users and internal components safe.
