Resistance changes can reach ±1 to 2% regardless of whether the initial resistor tolerance was ±0.05% or ±1%. When changes amounting to ±2% occur, a total design tolerance span of 6% would have to be ...
The remote variable resistor functions as a voltage-controlled resistor whose resistance changes based on an applied voltage.
By the end, you’ll understand not only what a resistor is but also why it's essential in everything from tiny circuits to massive industrial machines. More for You ...
In DC voltage applications, the RC snubber network is typically wired across the relay contacts, whereas in standard AC ...
This resistor is rated for a full 1 W at 70°C. Available in tolerances of 1%, 3%, and 5%, with TCRs as low as ±20 ppm/°C, it's rated for operation from -40°C to 125°C.
A fourth circuit element called memristor (the first three being resistors, capacitors and inductors) has been proposed since 1971, but HP labs has ...
A positive temperature coefficient resistor (PTCR) is a resistor that varies its resistance with its temperature. A resistor that changes its resistance characteristics as a function of its ...
Automotive gauges are simple and have changed little in the last 100 years. Understanding how they function can make troubleshooting a snap. Some background on the basic principles of gauge ...
The new component is called a memristor, or memory resistor. Up until today, the circuit element had only been described in a series of mathematical equations written by Leon Chua, who in 1971 was ...
