Resistors consist of two terminals and generate resistance to the flow of current. In this blog, we will be covering variable resistors, a type of resistor that is utilized for adjusting circuit resistance to control voltage or current in an electronic circuit.

Current sensors passively measure the amount of electricity passing through a system without impacting a circuit's flow, it is applied for both AC and DC current,. Affixed to a conductor when they are in need of monitoring, a current sensor utilizes a magnetic field that is present when current is actively running through a wire. As such, current sensors often calculate the amount of electricity passing through a wire while simultaneously generating a proportional output which can be observed. Necessary for keeping track of energy usage for separate sub-meters, energy regulation, part reliability in case of an emergency, and more, current sensors are an essential device for monitoring electricity in various systems.
