Troubleshooting refrigeration equipment often requires measuring various electrical properties such as voltages, current flows, and resistances. Understanding these basic electrical fundamentals and ...

For the standard junction diode, there are two operating regions and three possible biasing conditions. There is no external potential energy applied to the P-N junction when a diode is connected in a ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) Determining if one voltage is greater than or less than another voltage is the job for a ...

An N-channel JFET has a low bias current when its gate is biased negative to the source. However, this requires either that the gate voltage be biased negative with respect to the source voltage or ...

For decades, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been the go-to choice for surface-mounted capacitors due to their many advantages, such as wide available capacitance range, non-polarity, low ...
