If you perform analog-circuit design, you'll occasionally need to use a resistor with a nonstandard value to produce a particular gain, ratio, or attenuation factor. You can create resistors of ...

When using a spreadsheet to calculate circuit values, determining “standard” component values to be used in subsequent calculations can produce more accurate results. This approach will also result in ...

The resistor color code is a long-standing standard in both the electronics and electrical industries which indicates the value of resistance of a resistor. Ohm’s Law is the foundation of measuring ...

This resistor with bands of red, violet, yellow, and gold has a value of 270,000 ohms (270kΩ) with a tolerance of ±5%. \( \begin{eqnarray*}\text{R}_\text{t} &=& \frac{3.9 \times 6.8}{3.9 + 6.8} \\ &=& ...
