Some years ago, one of the fundamental electronic instruments was the laboratory curve tracer. A CRT display would sweep out terminal behavior (current versus voltage) from which you could derive ...

Author Mazi Hosseini describes a simple, low-cost, voltage-controlled current source using two op amps that provides a good range of current and maximum load. One challenge in circuit design is ...

Abstract: Power distribution networks are rapidly evolving into large-scale, highly complex, and topologically variable active distribution networks (ADNs). In such ADNs, voltage issues are serious ...

If the temperature of a metal conductor increases, the ions of the metal vibrate more vigorously. Hence, for a metal, resistance increases with increasing temperature. Often the increase in ...
