Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) provide powerful tools for conventional circuit analysis (mesh analysis), but if time-varying magnetic fields Ken Yang, Senior Member of the Technical Staff ...

Researchers have found that it is possible to make an electric circuit with a magnetic insulator. This was first deemed impossible. The circuit is realized using spin waves: wave-like perturbations in ...

Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers contain two different switching mechanisms, a bimetal switch and an electromagnet. The bimetal serves as a means of handling overcurrents. The bimetal typically sits ...

According to novelist and physicist Charles P Snowin his influential 1959 lecture entitled “The two cultures,”not knowing the second law of thermodynamicsis equivalent to having never read a work by ...

Researchers have mapped magnetic fields in three dimensions, a major step toward solving what they call the 'grand challenge' of revealing 3D magnetic configuration in magnetic materials. The work has ...

Modern electronics are a far cry from what Michael Faraday, the pioneer of electrical gadgetry, can ever have imagined possible. But he’d surely be pleased, if only because the magnet, the component ...

This video explains the function of inductors and how they store energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them. Inductors are essential passive components used to manage current changes ...
