A resistor ladder is an electrical circuit made from repeating units of resistors.Two configurations are discussed below, a string resistor ladder and an R-2R ladder. An R–2R ladder is a simple and inexpensive way to perform digital-to-analog conversion, using repetitive arrangements of precise resistor networks in a ladder-like configuration.A string resistor ladder implements …

In electronic logic circuits, a pull-up resistor (PU) or pull-down resistor (PD) is a resistor used to ensure a known state for a signal. It is typically used in combination with components such as switches and transistors, which physically interrupt the connection of subsequent components to ground or to V CC.Closing the switch creates a direct connection to ground or V CC, but when …

An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others. A separate code, the 25-pair color code, is used to identify wires in some telecommunications cables. Different codes are used for wire leads on devices such as ...

A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction (asymmetric conductance); it has low (ideally zero) resistance in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other.. A diode vacuum tube or thermionic diode is a vacuum tube with two electrodes, a heated cathode and a plate, in which electrons can flow in only one direction, …

Johnson–Nyquist noise (thermal noise, Johnson noise, or Nyquist noise) is the electronic noise generated by the thermal agitation of the charge carriers (usually the electrons) inside an electrical conductor at equilibrium, which happens regardless of any applied voltage.Thermal noise is present in all electrical circuits, and in sensitive electronic equipment (such as radio …

An electrical ballast is a device placed in series with a load to limit the amount of current in an electrical circuit.. A familiar and widely used example is the inductive ballast used in fluorescent lamps to limit the current through the tube, which would otherwise rise to a destructive level due to the negative differential resistance of the tube's voltage-current characteristic.

Resistor merupakan komponen elektronik yang memiliki dua pin dan didesain untuk mengatur tegangan listrik dan arus listrik. Resistor mempunyai nilai resistansi (tahanan) tertentu yang dapat memproduksi tegangan listrik di antara kedua pin dimana nilai tegangan terhadap resistansi tersebut berbanding lurus dengan arus yang mengalir, ...

A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load.The main purpose of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters.Some power supplies are separate standalone pieces of …

A liquid rheostat or water rheostat or salt water rheostat is a type of variable resistor.This may be used as a dummy load or as a starting resistor for large slip ring motors.. In the simplest form it consists of a tank containing brine or other electrolyte solution, in which electrodes are submerged to create an electrical load.The electrodes may be raised or lowered into the liquid …

The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the unit of electrical resistance in the International System of Units (SI).It is named after German physicist Georg Ohm.Various empirically derived standard units for electrical resistance were developed in connection with early telegraphy practice, and the British Association for the Advancement of Science proposed a unit derived from existing units of …
