Electrical engineering: Sign convention for passive components
Description
The sign convention for passive components defines what we mean by positive and negative voltage and current.
Electrical engineering
Learn about electricity, circuit theory, and introductory electronics. We also have sections that let you get down and dirty with household items, from building your own robot to videos where we disassemble household items to see what's inside.
Circuit elements
The basic elements of circuit design are components (resistors, capacitors, and inductors), and sources (voltage and current). We describe these elements as both ideal elements and real-world objects. We also develop precise terminology for how to talk about circuits and label voltages and currents.
