This tutorial will showcase how inductance, capacitance and resistance affect alternating current. A circuit may have the alternating current through it and the voltage across it rising and failing ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...

It seems like wireless power transfer is all the rage these days. There’s wireless charging mats, special battery packs, heck, even some phones have it built in! And they all use inductive coils to ...

The transmission of wireless energy was an idea born over 100 years ago by famed inventor Nikola Tesla. Although he was successful (albeit limited) in seeing his vision become a reality with the Tesla ...

Inductive-sensing technology is revolutionizing the traditional approach to designing human-machine interfaces (HMIs). System designers are rethinking fundamental building blocks such as simple on/off ...

The ignition is easily the most misunderstood system in any car. Most enthusiasts treat ignitions like some sort of weird, black magic/voodoo curse best left alone until it fails. Either that or they ...
