If you are an EE you definitely know the answer to this, or at least you think you do. If you said positive to negative, you are wrong. Then you remember that current flow is a charge of electrons ...

In the Feb. 22 issue of RWEE, we asked: What is skin effect in alternating current and what is its relationship to current flow? a. Skin effect is the tendency of all current flow on printed circuit ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

This video provides a clear explanation of resistors and their role in electronic circuits. It introduces the principles behind Ohm’s Law and explains how resistors affect the flow of current and ...

Fran: Ahhh, I almost won that one as well! Now, our appliances and devices, they all work because of the electrical current that flows into them through a circuit. An electrical circuit is made of a ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

Which way does electricity flow through a vehicle’s electrical system? From positive to negative, or from negative to positive? Depending on your viewpoint, it can flow either way. When most people ...

In school, you might have learned that electrons were negatively charged and protons were positive. This is not a fact of nature but a human-invented convention. It’s a fact that protons and electrons ...
