A series circuit puts all resistors on the same line. A string of Christmas lights is a series circuit because they all depend on each other to function. When one bulb is pulled out, the entire string goes dark. In parallel, resistors are each independently...
An ammeter (from Ampere Meter) is an estimating instrument used to gauge the current in a circuit. Electric flows are estimated in amperes (A), consequently the name. Instruments used to gauge littler flows, in the milliampere or microampere extend, are assigned as milliammeters or microammet...
What is the formula to convert watts to amps? What are the fundamental units in biomechanics? In the circuit below, each resistor has a resistance of 141 ohms, and the battery has a potential difference of 3 V. How much current would be running through the battery, in amperes?
Current (I).The rate at which the current flows. Current is measured in amperes, which are also referred to as amps. Resistance (R).The rate at which a material resists the current's flow. Resistance is measured in ohms. These three quantities are directly related to each other, as demo...

Capacitors are devices which store electrical energy in the form of an electric field. The process is quite similar to the way mechanical springs store energy in the form of elastic material deformation, to the extent that the math describing both is quite similar, save for the variables used....
Amps, volts, watts, and ohms are the main units used for measuring electricity. Find out how amps, watts, volts, and ohms relate to electricity.
There are components on both sides of the board, and a certain amount of grey silicone which is easy enough to peel off. Back in the 1980s this would have seemed intimidating in its compactness, but it’s easy to work on given modern tools. Finding the fault was a case of looking ...
almost three quarters water. That's roughly equivalent to the amount of moisture in a banana. Lungs are more similar to an apple at 83%. And even seemingly dry human bones are 31% water. If we are essentially made of water, and surrounded by water, why do we still need to drink so...
The water analogy keeps going. Amps (or current) in this situation are equivalent to the size of the pipe. If you wanted to move a ton of water, you could either crank up the pressure, or make the pipe bigger. Electricity works the same way. Charging speed mostly boils down to voltage...
