For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

Kids love building electric circuits, but connecting light bulbs to batteries with fiddly wires is tricky for young hands. Play dough and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) solve the problem beautifully.

Churning with voltage and resembling an explosion at the wire factory, the breaker panel exudes mystique. But it's just a big switch, filled with other smaller ­switches, which lead to the switches ...

This video explains the function of inductors and how they store energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them. Inductors are essential passive components used to manage current changes ...

An apprenticeship program in Heath purchased the former Sears space at the Indian Mound Mall in Heath. The space has sat ...

In a circuit panel, every circuit must be identified as to its specific purpose or use [as per Sec. 408.4(A) of the National Electrical Code]. This identification must be made: In a circuit directory ...

THE best method of training electrical engineers will probably remain a subject of discussion so long as the profession continues to be a profitable one. Whether recourse should be had to the factory ...

Use this fun, interactive activity to talk about how conductive materials allow electricity to flow freely, while insulating materials make it slow down or stop. This experiment was developed by ...
