An electric circuit is formed when a conductive path is created to allow free electrons to continuously move. This continuous…
Ohm’s Law also makes intuitive sense if you apply it to the water-and-pipe analogy. Ohms Law Analogy If we have…
In addition to voltage and current, there is another measure of free electron activity in a circuit: power. First, we…
We’ve seen the formula for determining the power in an electric circuit: by multiplying the voltage in ”volts” by the…
Because the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in any circuit is so regular, we can reliably control any variable…
Ohm’s Law is a simple and powerful mathematical tool for helping us analyze electric circuits, but it has limitations, and…
So far, we’ve been analyzing single-battery, single-resistor circuits with no regard for the connecting wires between the components, so long…
We can trace the direction that electrons will flow in the same circuit by starting at the negative (-) terminal…
Computers can be powerful tools if used properly, especially in the realms of science and engineering. Software exists for the simulation of…
