Fundamental electrical engineering concepts and theory
Famed English chemist and physicist Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791, in Newington Butts, a suburb of Surrey just south of the London Bridge...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
The calculation of current in a three phase system has been brought up on our site feedback and is a discussion I seem to get involved in every now and...
A single phase system is perhaps the most common type of system most people are familiar with. This is what people have in their homes and what appliances...
If you have a great idea or invent something the last thing you want is someone to steal the idea. One of the things you can do is protect the intellectual...

While there are a vast array of cable insulation materials, these are often divided into two general types; Thermoplastic or Thermosetting. For example...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
When thinking about watts (W) or kilowatt (kW = 1000 W) it can be useful too keep in mind the fundamental ideas behind the unit. Watt is not a pure electrical...
