What Is The Hall Effect? Discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879, the Hall effect is a phenomenon when voltage (potential difference) is generated across a current-carrying conductor when it is placed in a ...

Current is a measure of how much electric charge flows through a circuit. The more charge that flows, the bigger the current. Current is measured in amperes. The symbol for ampere is A. For example, ...

Editor’s note: This month’s guest author is John P. Griffith, a systems engineer for the Interface group at TI, where he has supported CAN and RS485 transceivers in both applications and systems ...

The induced voltage produces an induced current if the conductor is connected in a complete circuit. As with all currents, the induced current creates a magnetic field around itself. Note that this ...

This article focuses on single-cell electrophysiology and introduces the fundamentals of electrophysiological investigation by describing the ionic basis of action potentials and the different ...

Ask any electronics hobbyist or professional what the simplest building blocks of electronic circuits are, and they’ll undoubtedly say resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Ask a mechanically-inclined ...

Potential relays are commonly found on many smaller, single-phase, capacitor-start, capacitor-run motors in the HVACR industry. Their function is to assist in starting the electric motor. Potential ...
