The Current, Voltage, and Resistance Relationship
Current, voltage, and resistance are the three important electronics concepts that form the foundation of understanding how circuits operate. Current represents the flow of electric charge through a conductor, voltage is the electrical potential difference that drives this flow, and…
Basic Electronic Components in Circuits
As you progress, you’ll start working on projects or circuits that incorporate a variety of electronic components.
To gain more confidence building your circuit, familiarize yourself first with the fundamentals. Start learning the basic components that are commonly used in…
What’s the Difference Between Alternating and Direct Current
In electronics, you’ll be dealing with two types of electricity: Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC).
If you’re a beginner, you’re probably familiar with AC as the primary form of power distributed in homes and industries, while DC is…
Capacitors in Series and Parallel Explained
A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electronic component that can store electrical charge. But did you know that you can connect multiple capacitors in either parallel or series to meet specific design requirements in electronic circuits?
Before delving into this…
Circuit for Beginners: Resistors in Series and Parallel
In electronics, resistors are components designed to impede the flow of electric current, and how they’re connected in a circuit makes a big difference. There are two main setups: resistors in series and resistors in parallel.
Now why should we…
