Film Resistor is a general term referring to different resistor types such as Carbon Film, Metal Film, and Metal Oxide Film resistors. They are generally manufactured by depositing pure metals (e.g., ...

(Nanowerk News) The precise measurement of electrical resistance is essential in industrial production or electronics – for example, in the manufacture of high-tech sensors, microchips and flight ...

Photoresistors, also commonly referred to as light-dependent resistors (LDRs), are a class of variables resistors which change their resistance depending on how much light is hitting the resistor.

Resistors are a type of electrical component which are widely used in electrical circuits. In fact, they are one of the most widely used and most important components of an electrical circuit. In ...

There are a vast array of power supplies on the market, and the variety of resistor applications in those designs broaden the selection dramatically. So, for the purpose of this article, power ...

The world has turned to renewable energy in an attempt to wean itself from depleting carbon-based sources. The increase in the number of solar, wind, wave, and tidal power sources has pushed the need ...

What kinds of applications utilize precision resistor trimming? Obvious applications include setting operational-amplifier gain and offset and voltage regulator output (Fig. 1a and 1b). But there are ...

In all kinds of engineering, we build on abstractions in a kind of inverted pyramid. Lots of people can, for example, design a system using ready-made building blocks on printed circuit boards. Fewer ...

Until now, the zero magnetic field Quantum Anomalous Hall effect only occurred at very low currents. This device can change that. The precise measurement of electrical resistance is essential in ...
