The basic components of electricity are relatively easy and logical to understand. Most electrical terms relate and get along ...

In this week’s Gizmodo University: Discover Electronics, we’re diving headfirst into the principle theories of electronics. The second of four classes in this series, “Volts, Amps, and Ohms” is ...

For more than a century, scientists have relied on separate tools to measure the three core building blocks of electricity: volts, ohms, and amps. Each describes a different piece of how electricity ...

Because of the shell arrangements of electrons in various atoms and molecules, some substances are quite good at allowing a few electrons to move about freely (e.g., copper, silver, gold, aluminum), ...

Part of Design and Technology Electronic and microelectronic control systems Using Ohm’s Law (V=ꞮR), you can calculate the expected values for voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit. Ohm's law.

Ohms are one of the specs that both speaker and receiver manufacturers use to give you an idea about their performance. Speakers and amplifiers alike are usually rated around 8 ohms, but that's not ...
