An introductory discussion of electronics would be remiss without a conceptual analysis of DC voltage ( Vdc ), current ( I ), and resistance ( R ). Most students readily adapt to teaching strategies that relate new topics to familiar themes and everyday life experiences. Visual aids are of preeminent importance to new and seasonedContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Direct Current ( DC ) Voltage, Current, and Resistance”

ELECTRICITY: Series and Parallel Electrical Circuits
Note: The problem is much easier when one is familiar with what a series vs. parallel circuit looks like. Fortunately, plenty of examples can be found on the internet. Q: Two resistors are submitted to a 12 V potential. When linked together, the current is of 1.33 A. When in parallel, the current is 5.4Continue reading “ELECTRICITY: Series and Parallel Electrical Circuits”
ELECTRICITY: Kirchhoff’s Rules and Negative Current Values
Voltage, where V = IR, is the product of the current ( I ) of Amperes in an electrical circuit in units of coulombs per second ( q/s ), and resistance ( R ) in Ohms. Likewise, voltage is defined as the amount of energy in Joules ( J ) a coulomb of charge carriesContinue reading “ELECTRICITY: Kirchhoff’s Rules and Negative Current Values”
