When to Use PWM and When to use Potentiometer in your Projects [Video]

PWM or pulse width modulation is a method used for reducing average power provided by a source by effectively dividing it into discrete parts. While a potentiometer is essentially a variable resistor having three terminals. This video illustrates the difference between both and when you should use a potentiometer and when you should employ PWM.

What is the equivalent resistance of three 15 ohms resistors in parallel [MCQ]

Statement: Three resistors of 15 ohms are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is: 12.5 ohms 10 ohms 5 ohms 3 ohms Answer: 5 ohms Discussion: Brief solution: The basic formula for parallel resistors is: In case of three resistors: 1/R(eq) = 1/R(1) + 1/R(2) + 1/R(3) Solving this we obtain R(eq) = 5 ohms … Read more
