It is known that the p-n diode can be the basis of an accurate thermometer for cryogenic temperatures up to about 200°C. A constant current is maintained through the diode and the voltage across it ...

This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

The previous tutorials featured resistors in direct current (DC) circuits wherein the voltage and current have been assumed to be of constant polarity, flow and direction. The voltage, current and ...

Alternating current circuits improve the versatility and usefulness of electric power systems. In the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla demonstrated phenomena with alternating current (AC) electricity that ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...
