  2. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    In electrical engineering, current sensing is any one of several techniques used to measure electric current. The measurement of current ranges from picoamps to tens of thousands of amperes. The selection of a current sensing method depends on requirements such as magnitude, accuracy, bandwidth, robustness, cost, isolation or size. The current ...

  3. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  4. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    Current limiting is the practice of imposing a limit on the current that may be delivered to a load to protect the circuit generating or transmitting the current from harmful effects due to a short-circuit or overload. The term "current limiting" is also used to define a type of overcurrent protective device.

  5. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    The electrons, the charge carriers in an electrical circuit, flow in the direction opposite that of the conventional electric current. The symbol for a battery in a circuit diagram. The conventional direction of current, also known as conventional current, [10] [11] is arbitrarily defined as the direction in which positive charges flow.

  6. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

    Hall effect current sensor with internal integrated circuit amplifier. 8 mm opening. Zero current output voltage is midway between the supply voltages that maintain a 4 to 8-volt differential. The non-zero current response is proportional to the voltage supplied and is linear to 60 amperes for this particular (25 A) device.

  7. Glossary of electrical and electronics engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_electrical_and...

    A current sensing coil that produces a voltage proportional to the rate of change of current; by integration, this can be turned into a measure of current. root locus A graphical method for analyzing the properties of a transfer function as some parameter is varied. root mean square

  8. Coulter counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulter_counter

    Electrical current is passed through electrodes on either side of the aperture tube; because glass is an electrical insulator, all of this current flows through the aperture. After recording baseline data, the sample to be analyzed is slowly added to the conducting liquid and drawn through the aperture.

  9. Current–voltage characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current–voltage...

    In this case, the voltage refers to the voltage across a biological membrane, a membrane potential, and the current is the flow of charged ions through channels in this membrane. The current is determined by the conductances of these channels. In the case of ionic current across biological membranes, currents are measured from inside to outside.
