Reading Time: 19 minutesIntroduction Kirchhoff’s second law deals with the conservation of energy around a closed loop series path. We call this law Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law, or KVL, for short. What’s a Closed Loop Series Path? A closed loop series path is where there is a direct path through circuit elements from one point of the circuit around […]
Reading Time: 10 minutesIntroduction Kirchhoff’s first law deals with the conservation of charge entering and leaving a junction. We call this law Kirchhoff’s Current Law, or KCL, for short. What’s a Junction? A junction is where conductors in a circuit meet, then branch off in different directions within the circuit — kind of like an intersection in a […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe want to wish you a Happy Fourth of July! Remember why we celebrate this special day and what our ancestors tried to accomplish many years ago that makes this a celebration so important that we keep it within our culture. God bless you and your families and God bless The United States of America […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesWhat Is an LED? The simple answer is that an LED is a type of light. It’s also a type of diode. The acronym LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Just as a diode is a semiconductor, an LED uses semiconductor properties to allow it to illuminate – unlike an incandescent light which uses a […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesOhm’s Law is one of the most fundamental principles in electricity and electronics, and it’s what helps us to describe the relationship of the current through a conductor between two points in a circuit and its direct proportionality to the electric potential difference, or voltage across those two points. potential difference: the difference in electric […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteJust wanted to update everyone on the progress of Motbots. We’re currently working on more material and new project ideas to share with you all – keeping busy and motivated, because of you! We are aware that there may be some links on some of our pages that lead to the Home page instead of […]
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.
