Reading Time: 11 minutesAn ideal current source is a source of constant current to a system, independent of the source voltage. An ideal current source provides this constant current with 100 A practical current source is a device that supplies current to a system, yet unlike an ideal current source, has some internal resistance in parallel within itself. […]
Reading Time: 8 minutesAn ideal voltage source is a source of constant voltage to a system, independent of any fluctuations of current. An ideal voltage source provides this constant voltage with 100 A practical voltage source is a device that supplies voltage to a system, yet unlike an ideal voltage source, has some internal resistance in series within […]
Reading Time: 13 minutesCircuit Element A circuit element refers to a basic component that is used to construct electrical circuits. The element can be a physical device or an abstract concept that exhibits specific electrical behavior and are combined together to form more complex circuits. These elements can include resistors, capacitors, inductors, and various other components that contribute […]
Reading Time: 8 minutesActive and Passive Elements Explained Recall that a source is any device that delivers energy into to a system. A source is a device that actively generates electrical energy, such as a battery — whereas, an electrical load is considered to be a device that passively extracts energy from a system, such as a speaker. […]
Reading Time: 5 minutesA multimeter is a testing device that measures electrical properties and provides readouts of values pertaining to the electrical property being measured. The multimeter is a tool used by hobbyists, by those in the electrical and electronics industry, and by people in other industries — where measurements of electrical properties such as voltage, current and […]
