Assuming the transistor’s beta is high — and modern devices are usually pretty high — whatever current flows through the emitter will effectively flow through the collector, too.

Draw a copy of the circuit diagram in your lab book. Use arrows to show the direction in which the current flows through the circuit. Label the input circuit and the output circuit of the ...

the water flow is like the electrical current In many ways, electrical current behaves like water flowing through a closed ring of piping.

If the components in a parallel circuit have different resistances, a different amount of current will flow through each branch. The greater the resistance of the component, the less current will ...

Shini explores electric current, voltaic cells, and how we get electric charge.

Many introductory books on electricity try to relate voltage to water pressure, electric current to water flow, and resistance to changes in pipe volume.

Scientists are facing a number of barriers as they try to develop circuits that are microscopic in size, including how to reliably control the current that flows through a circuit that is the ...

Follow the current Remember that we call a collection of connected electrical or electronic components a “circuit” because currents always flow from a source to a load and then back via a return ...

To learn more about why current flows through the path of least inductance, you can download Joffe’s presentation (PDF format). The presentation also discusses how return paths affect circuit ...

Inductance is measured in Henries (H) Impedance: Similar to resistance, impedance is the opposition of AC current flow through a conductor in a reactive circuit (i.e. one exhibiting elements of ...

In contrast to alternating current, or AC, which, depending on the supply's frequency, switches direction 50 or 60 times per second, the current in DC circuits flows only in one direction.
