Resistors in a parallel configuration are each subject to the same potential difference (voltage), however the currents through them add

In electronics, a diode is a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric conductance; it has low (ideally zero) resistance to current in one ... more

Mass moment of inertia measures the extent to which an object resists rotational acceleration about an axis, and is the rotational analogue to mass.

The drift velocity is the average velocity that a particle, such as an electron, attains in a material due to an electric field. It can also be referred to ... more

Potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. The potentiometer can be used as a voltage ... more

If two or more components are connected in parallel they have the same potential difference (voltage) across their ends. The potential differences across ... more

In a series configuration, the current through all of the resistors is the same, but the voltage across each resistor will be in proportion to its ... more

In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) is a force ... more
