Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

Editor’s note: This is the second in a three-part series that began in the March 12 issue with a discussion of heat reclaim in three-way valve operation. Heat reclaim can be accomplished with either a ...

What analog designer hasn't had to derive a nonstandard resistor value by using series/parallel combinations of standard resistor values? In efforts to avoid a production trimpot tweak, we can use 0.1 ...

A 6-V battery powers a circuit with parallel branches on a board. Several wires and light bulbs plug into the board to make various series and parallel circuits. The brightness of the bulbs changes ...

Despite many of the myths that surround series networks and their acclaimed superiority over conventional parallel networks for loudspeaker design, both networks can be designed with identical ...

More often than not a question pops up in our forum about speaker impedance and the result of connecting multiple speakers to a single amplifier. Thus we have prepared this introductory tutorial to ...
