Back in the early days of electricity, lab workers could measure electric current in a circuit using an ammeter (galvanometer) and voltage using a voltmeter. From there, they could calculate ...

All, I posted this at DIYMA, and didn't get too may helpful responses, so figured I'd ask the Hive Mind. Back in the '90s, I used to set amp gains by turning the level pot all the way up and then ...

While using a digital multimeter to diagnose electrical problems on customers’ equipment, I frequently hear the comment, “I’ve got one of those multimeter things, but I never learned how to use it.” ...

Figure 1. Use the circuit in (a) to measure input bias current on the op amp’s noninverting input. Adding a loop amplifier in (b) keeps the op-amp stable for measurements on the inverting input. The ...

If you check out eBay, Amazon, or the other kinda-shady online retailers out there, you’ll quickly find you can buy a CAT III (600V) rated multimeter for under $50. If you think about it, this is ...

How do you know if a resistor is correctly restricting the flow of electricity? Using a multimeter is an obvious answer. However, there is more to it than meets the eye. This article will explain what ...
