Inductors are simple coils of wire that can control how electricity flows in a circuit. This video explains how inductors ...

The current-mode or peak-current-regulating switching converter is a familiar, almost dominant, power supply circuit consisting of few parts and is usually designed with “cookbook” procedures from PWM ...

A diode is a tiny component that controls the flow of electricity by allowing current to pass in only one direction. This ...

The difference between static discharge and continuous current is explained. Introduction to Electric Current: The difference between static discharge and continuous current is explained. Sources of ...

Ordinary power supply design includes current limiting as a protection feature. In product design, this is usually sufficient in that the engineer decides the loads on the supply by design. However, ...

When working around mains voltages, it can be useful to know whether a given circuit is live or not. While this can be done by direct connection with a multimeter, non-contact methods are available ...
