INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Kirchhoff’s Laws ( Part 2 )

The Loop Rule states that the sum of voltage ( V ) rises and drops around a closed loop must equal zero. This observation is an extension of the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy is neither created or destroyed, but it has the ability to change form. Furthermore, the direction thatContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Kirchhoff’s Laws ( Part 2 )”

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”
