Back to the basics: defining key concepts in electronics without breaking out a plumbing wrench.
I didn’t kick off this site with a specific set of topics in mind, but for one reason or another, electronics emerged as an audience favorite. At the same time, because we didn’t follow any specific curriculum, I left out an important stepping stone for some of the less seasoned hobbyists: a discussion of key concepts used to describe what’s going on in a circuit in the first place. Today, I’d like to close this gap with a couple of crisp definitions. We'll start with time-invariant characteristics: current, voltage, and resistance. From there, we'll proceed to capacitance, inductance, and…
