INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Metric Prefix Conversions ( Part 1 )

The process by which metric prefixes are converted from one value to another is based upon the following premise: 1 x 1 = 1 This premise can be easily applied to statements of truth that involve variables: a = a ( a / a ) = 1 b = b ( b / b )Continue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Metric Prefix Conversions ( Part 1 )”

FINDING THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR ( LCD ) OF FRACTIONS AND DETERMINING THE TOTAL RESISTANCE ( Rt ) OF PARALLEL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS:

FINDING THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR: Let’s first envision putting two half pieces of a pie together to get a full pie. Numerically, this would involve adding ( 1/2 ) + ( 1/2 ) = ( [ 1 + 1 ] / 2 ) = ( 2/2 ) = 1 whole pie. This example was madeContinue reading “FINDING THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR ( LCD ) OF FRACTIONS AND DETERMINING THE TOTAL RESISTANCE ( Rt ) OF PARALLEL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS:”
