In all of these cases, you are completing anelectric circuit, allowing acurrent, or flow of electrons, through the wires. Anelectriccircuit is in many ways similar to your circulatory system. Your blood vessels, arteries, veins and capillaries are like the wires in a circuit. The blood vesse...

These elements are a lot more precise, and they shut down the circuit more quickly, but they are also a lot more expensive. For this reason, most houses still use conventional electric circuit breakers. One type that can be found built directly into outlets, particularly near bathroom sinks,...

Circuit Breaker: At Work in Your Home This diagram shows the basic parts and design of a circuit breaker. HowStuffWorks The power distribution grid delivers electricity from a power plant to your house. Inside your house, the electric charge moves in a large circuit, which is composed of ...
Engineering teams interface with in-circuit emulation equipment using their computers. Whereas simulation software creates a digitized representation of a chip's attributes, the in-circuit emulator provides a physical manifestation of the design. As a result, the in-circuit emulator facilitates faster ...
Power Engineer: Power engineers belong to that specific field of electric engineering who design, develop, or supervise the installation of electrical equipment, components, or systems for commercial, industrial, or utility products. Professor: Electrical power engineering professors are responsible for dev...
Modern digital meters come equipped with AC (alternating current) sensors that detect amperage and voltage from the grid. These meters do a better job of recording all of the power in a circuit, making them somewhat more accurate than ADC or mechanical electric meters. ...
Learn how piezoelectricity produces an electric charge by applying mechanical stress to a piezoelectric material.
There are two kinds of stud finders that can help you find wires in a wall – magnetic and electric. A magnetic stud finder is used to detect metal nails in wall studs. Electronic stud finders produce a tiny electrical field that changes when the finder reaches a denser region in...
