Resistors are the most commonly used component in electronics, as their purpose is to create specified values of current and voltage in a circuit. Since there's so much to understand about them, being ...

Although there are several ways to sense current flowing from a source such as a battery, or to a load such as a motor, the current-sense resistor is among the most widely used approaches. There are ...

One of the standard methods used to measure load current is to insert a low-value resistor in the load line and sense the voltage across it, Figure 1, followed by an analog or digital implementation ...
