When a voltage is applied to a material or device,current will flow through it. How much current will flow is based on theresistance that the material applies to a circuit. The resistance of a ...

If you want to measure resistance and you know Ohm’s law, it seems like you have an easy answer, right? Feed a known current through the thing you want to measure and read the voltage required. A ...

In the first part of this series on the highs and lows of resistance measurements, I discussed the basic principles for making two- and 4-wire resistance measurements for measuring resistances of less ...

In today’s advanced packages, however, resistance no longer resides primarily inside transistors or neatly bounded test ...

Insulation failure is the root cause of many electrical conductors and equipment failures. When insulation fails, not only can equipment be damaged, but fire and shock can also result. Ideally, when ...

Metrological institutes on a chip: Efforts like this one seek to bring cutting-edge measurement-science technology and expertise from national metrological institutes directly to users. (Courtesy: ...

The resistance and conductance of a battery are two parameters that can be used to determine the health of battery strings and identify failed cells. As the two different values have a such a close ...
