What Are Ballast Resistors?
Understanding Ballast Resistors Function of ballast resistors in vehicles The ballast resistors regulate the current from the ignition coil to ensure an even and constant voltage supply to the ignition…
What Causes Ballast Resistor Failure
How Ballast Resistors Impact Ignition Systems Ballast resistors serve an important function in ignition systems. During engine startup, high voltage is required to permit sufficient current to flow to the…
How to Test and Identify PNP Transistors
What are PNP Transistors? The PNP transistor is a semiconductor construct basically composed of three layers: a P-type material, an N-type material, and a P-type material again. This leads to…
What Are PNP Transistors
What are PNP Transistors? A PNP transistor is a type of bipolar junction transistor (BJT) where the majority charge carriers are holes (positive charge). It is constructed with three layers…
What Are Bypass Capacitors
Understanding Bypass Capacitors Bypass capacitors, or decoupling capacitors, are electronic circuit components which stabilize and suppress noise voltage. They are usually small in size and their capacitance values go down…
How Do Bypass Capacitors Work
How Bypass Capacitors Work Bypass capacitors operate on their ability to store and release electrical charge in an improved fashion. At the time of instantaneous current demand within the circuit,…
