A precision voltage divider produces a specific fraction of its input voltage using carefully matched resistive components.

If you’ve ever worked with guitar pedals or analog audio gear, you’ve probably realized the value of a resistor decade box. They substitute for a resistor in a circuit and let you quickly flick ...

In Part 1 of this five-part series, we examined FET voltage controlled resistors, basic voltage controlled resistor circuits, and a balanced or push pull voltage controlled resistor (VCR) circuit.

Members can download this article in PDF format. The vision of electric vehicles (EVs) as a primary transportation platform is slowly coming of age. EVs are moving away from being seen as eclectic to ...

"Learn how to set up and analyze an RC circuit using the PhET Simulator! In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of building a simple resistor-capacitor circuit, explaining ...

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 ...

resistance is measured in ohms (Ω) resistors control current and protect components in electronic circuits. the coloured bands on a resistor is a colour coding system used to identify resistor values ...

One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they marked ...
