Many introductory books on electricity try to relate voltage to water pressure, electric current to water flow, and resistance to changes in pipe volume. Of course, you probably figured out that ...

In the Earth (see image below right), the liquid metal that makes up the outer core passes through a magnetic field, which causes an electric current to flow within the liquid metal. The electric ...

An electric current can flow in the wire from one end of the battery to the other, but nothing useful happens. The wire just gets very hot and the battery loses stored internal energy – it ...

Researchers discovered how Floquet Majorana fermions can improve quantum computing by controlling superconducting currents, ...

Electrical components, like motors close motorA device which spins when current flows through it. Motors are used in fans, food processors and many other devices. and lamps close lampA component ...

the electrical charges at the P-N junctions form an electrical barrier and no current flows between the emitter and the collector. The transistor acts like an insulator or a switch that is turned off.

One promising solution comes from an unusual effect called nonreciprocal electronic transport, where electric current flows more easily in one direction than the other. This one-way electric flow ...
