JHPenn Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 If I needed to generate an adjustable current up to a maximum of .000165 amperes, what would I use as a power source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be ac or (I presume dc) ? What minumum are you seeking ? What load are you driving ? The simplest way might be a battery and a high value rheostat (in relation to the load resistance) connected potentiometer. That would give a sensibly constant cuurent up to 200 microamps. If you can live with a range of fixed currents then you could use fixed Hiz resistors and a switch instead of the pot.

Enthalpy Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Same query as Studiot. Looks quite feasible, but needs more information. Desired stability, what voltage, possibly temperature range, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
