Watch this video to learn more about what an electrical circuit is and how it works. Electrical energy flows around circuits which are loops made of metal wires. In this game, touching the wire with ...

The electrical wiring within a home represents far more than a simple utility; it is the fundamental circulatory system that ...

Kids love building electric circuits, but connecting light bulbs to batteries with fiddly wires is tricky for young hands. Play dough and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) solve the problem beautifully.

Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful ...

Connecting them at only one point. Cutting the ground plane under a mixed signal component Connecting them with capacitors. Segmenting the ground plane in a PCB such that there is only a narrow ...

The savings from multiwire branch circuits can come at a high cost. It's true that multiwire branch circuits reduce raceway size, voltage drop, and the number of conductors. However, mishandling or ...

Electrical system designers have at their disposal several types of fire resistive systems that comply with specific Code requirements. It can be helpful to ...

Electricians always carry non-contact voltage testers with them, and you should have one, too. They’re inexpensive and easy to use, and they help keep you safe when doing DIY electrical work. Solution ...

To make something work using electricity there needs to be an electrical circuit; a circuit is a complete loop that electricity can move around. Electricity moves from the power source (the battery or ...
