INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Power in Series Circuits

Thus far, we have seen how the net resistance ( R ) to current ( I ) flow within a series circuit is the sum of all the resistors that are present: Rt = R1 + R2 + R3 +…Rn The voltage ( V ) drop that occurs as a coulomb ( C ) ofContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Power in Series Circuits“

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Electrical Quantities and their Corresponding SI Units

The International System ( SI ) has established internationally accepted values for physical quantities. These agreed-upon values constitute the building blocks of many scientific fields of study, including electronics. Each quantity in question is accompanied by a symbol, and each symbol can be substituted with an SI unit that gives it meaning. Consider the followingContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Electrical Quantities and their Corresponding SI Units”
