If you need more amps, you need bigger wire. An ohm (represented by the Greek letter Omega, or Ω) measures the resistance inherent in any electrical wire. Copper wire, an excellent conductor of ...
1K? 10K? They’re all fine, but when you need nearly no resistance at all, nothing beats the good old zero-ohm resistor. Wait a minute! Resistors are supposed to resist current. What the heck ...
If the temperature of a metal conductor increases, the ions of the metal vibrate more vigorously. Hence, for a metal, resistance increases with increasing temperature. Often the increase in ...
[Alex Busman]’s first foray in iOS programming looks like a pretty useful tool. He came up with Ohm Sense, an iPhone app that will take a picture of a resistor and calculate the value based on ...
