Last month, we saw how you can use vectors to define complex circuits and determine current. This month, we'll show you how to use vector diagrams and some simple math to calculate neutral currents in ...

Does it need to stay as a vector graphic in Word? I have had good luck with PNG files, not so good with other vector formats.

NOT many years ago a certain type of journalist used to compare and contrast the theorist and the practical man, to the demolition of the former and the apotheosis of the latter. Fortunately, such an ...

Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

Modulation is fundamental to electronic communications. The modulating signal might be analog in nature (voice or music) or digital bit streams. Most modern communication systems are digital, using ...

In the diagram of a toy trailer below, when a child pulls on the handle, some of the 5 newton (N) force pulls the trailer upwards away from the ground and some of the force pulls it to the right.

IN a paragraph on the last number of Terrestrial Magnetism, in NATURE of March 1, p. 421, I notice the following sentence: “Dr. Lüdeling investigates graphically the phenomenon of the diurnal ...

Two forces can be added together to find a resultant force. In the diagram of a toy trailer below, when two children pull on the handle, one with a force of 3 newtons (N) to the left and one with a ...

Last month, we showed how you could use vector diagrams and simple math to calculate neutral currents in 3-phase, 4-wire circuits. In this last installment, we'll talk about using simple parallelogram ...
