This article was originally published in March 2017 on the Residential Lighting website. Residential Lighting was the precursor to Furniture, Lighting & Decor. The magazine ran for 25 years and was a ...

The Potential Difference or Voltage Drop can be considered the voltage difference between any two points in a circuit. It is also the difference in electric potential between the final and the initial ...

When measuring current with a shunt resistor, what side of the load do you put it on? If you're amplfying the voltage drop across the sense resistor and digitizing that voltage, it makes a difference.

Many research and productionapplications require low-level voltage measurements to characterize materialsand devices. When signal voltages approach the microvolt ...

Sensing, in all its forms, is fundamental to so many applications. It invariably involves a material that acts as a transducer, to convert one property to another. In electronics, the sensing element ...
