An electric current is a flow of charged particles. A source of energy, such as a cell or battery, is required to make the free electrons move in one direction. Electrons are negatively charged ...
When an electric current passes through the body, it can cause three main effects: When it comes to current, DC becomes hazardous at around 130 milliamps (mA)—a seemingly small amount, especially ...
As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...
APDs (avalanche photodiodes) or APDs, are common components in laser-based fiber-optic systems for converting optical data into electrical form. The bias voltage and current measurement requirements ...
Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...
When you measure a voltage, how do you know that your measurement is correct? Because your multimeter says so, of course! But how can you trust your multimeter to give the right reading? Calibration ...
A well-organised industrial network operates efficiently within every control panel. At the system's core is an AC-to-DC ...
Designed specifically for high-voltage sensing, a new generation of optically isolated amplifiers make monitoring and system protection circuits more accurate and easier to design. These iso-amps can ...
Voltage-gated ion channels underlie action potential initiation and propagation in eukaryotic excitable membranes. Thus, determination of biophysical properties of individual channel isoforms can lead ...
