IN recent years it has become a well-known experimentally observed fact 1–5 that the breakdown voltages of certain non-uniform field gaps are strongly dependent on the shape of the applied voltage ...

So we know from a previous video that electricity is the flow of electrons between atoms. These electrons can move about randomly. So we use voltage to push the electrons around a circuit. And when we ...

This application note discusses the factors that affect dynamic voltage sharing of series connected diodes and explains why co-packaged devices typically see little difference in the instantaneous ...

With any switchboard or switchgear lineup, you can order ammeters, voltmeters, frequency meters, etc. These meters come with factory-installed instrument transformers, which are needed to convert the ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Why get up close and personal with a resistor when you can tweak it from a distance? Remote variable resistors make analog circuit control easier, neater, and a lot more fun. Well, we are about to ...

During winter months, frost can unleash icy havoc on cars, planes, heat pumps, and much more. But thermal defrosting with heaters is very energy intensive, while chemical defrosting is expensive and ...

AC or DC general-use snap switches may be used for control of inductive loads not exceeding _____% of the ampere rating of the switch at the applied voltage. Snap switches shall be used as noted in ...

Double-ended topologies, such as push-pull, half-bridge and full-bridge, allow higher efficiencies and greater power densities compared with common single-ended topologies, such as flyback and forward ...

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...
