In this Design Idea, we explore several ways to use SPICE [1-3] circuit analysis software to determine the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuit parameters of linear active networks. The Thevenin ...

The demonstration carbon nanotube circuit converts an analog signal from a capacitor—the same type of sensor found in many touch screens—into a digital signal that’s comprehensible by a microprocessor ...

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...

Researchers at Stanford University have built one of the most complex circuits from carbon nanotubes yet. They showed off a simple hand-shaking robot with a sensor-interface circuit last week at the ...

We define the properties of parallel and complex circuits. Unit 5 Segment H: Parallel and Complex Circuits We define the properties of parallel and complex circuits. We examine how to find the total ...

Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

Use one of the services below to sign in to PBS: You've just tried to add this video to My List. But first, we need you to sign in to PBS using one of the services below. You've just tried to add this ...

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 ...
