A precision voltage divider produces a specific fraction of its input voltage using carefully matched resistive components.

"Learn how to set up and analyze an RC circuit using the PhET Simulator! In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of building a simple resistor-capacitor circuit, explaining ...

Introductory courses on noise in electronic circuits often start by stating the following formula for the open-circuit noise voltage of a resistor: You’ll probably argue that’s a lot of conditions; ...

What kinds of applications utilize precision resistor trimming? Obvious applications include setting operational-amplifier gain and offset and voltage regulator output (Fig. 1a and 1b). But there are ...

One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they marked ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The vision of electric vehicles (EVs) as a primary transportation platform is slowly coming of age. EVs are moving away from being seen as eclectic to ...

This resistor with bands of red, violet, yellow, and gold has a value of 270,000 ohms (270kΩ) with a tolerance of ±5%. \( \begin{eqnarray*}\text{R}_\text{t ...
