Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important ...

The simple current-limiting load switch shown in Figure 1 will be familiar to most readers. In this circuit, a high level signal applied to the input switches on MOSFET Q2, which energizes the load.

Switch You can use a switch in a circuit to create a gap and this can be used to switch the power on and off. When a switch is open (off), there is a gap in the circuit and electricity cannot ...

This circuit diagram joins a cell, a switch and two bulbs. Click on the next slide to see what the circuit might look like if you built it.

Designed for switching applications in telecommunications, instrumentation, medical equipment, workstations and computer peripherals, the C&K 7000 series rocker switch comes in a six-pole design ...

Phoenix, Ariz. ON Semiconductor has introduced the NUS3116, an integrated charging and power switching circuit for small form-factor portable electronics including cellular phones. This circuit ...

Like modern-day high performance machines, cells are constantly monitoring signals in their environment in order to “decide” on a course of action such as growth or movement. The signals are ...

It's the simple three-way circuit I anticipated and encountered in my home. The second drawing depicts when box 1 has three bundles of wire while box 2 has just one.
