He wāhanga hiko korekore te ātete hei waihanga ātete i te rere o te iahiko hiko. I roto i te nuinga o ngā whatunga hiko me ngā ara iahiko hiko ka kitea ēnei ātete. Ka inehia te ātete i roto i ngā ohm. Ko te ohm te ātete e puta ana ina haere te iahiko o te kotahi ampere i roto i te ātete me te hekenga kotahi volt puta noa i ōna pito. He rite te iahiko ki te ngaohiko puta noa i ngā pito pito. Ka tohuhia tēnei ōwehenga eTe ture a Ohm:

He maha ngā kaupapa e whakamahia ana ngā ātete. Ko ētahi tauira ko te wehewehe i te iahiko hiko, te wehewehe ngaohiko, te whakaputa wera, te whakataurite me te ara iahiko uta, te whakanui mana, me ngā pūmau wā pumau. Kei te wātea ēnei me ngā uara ātete neke atu i te iwa ngā raupapa o te kaha. Ka taea te whakamahi hei aukati hiko hei tohatoha i te kaha nekeneke mai i ngā tereina, he iti iho rānei i te mirimita tapawha mō ngā hikohiko.

Ngā Uara Ātete (Ngā Uara e Pai Ana)
I ngā tau 1950, nā te pikinga ake o te hanga ātete i hanga te hiahia mō ngā uara ātete paerewa. Ka paerewahia te whānuitanga o ngā uara ātete ki ngā uara e kiia nei ko ngā uara pai. Ka tautuhia ngā uara pai ki roto i te raupapa-E. I roto i te raupapa-E, he ōrau teitei ake ia uara i te o mua. He maha ngā raupapa-E mō ngā manawanui rerekē.

Ngā tono ātete
He nui ngā momo whakamahinga o ngā ātete; mai i ngā wāhanga tino tika i roto i ngā hikohiko matihiko, tae noa ki ngā taputapu ine mō ngā rahinga ā-tinana. Kei roto i tēnei upoko ētahi whakamahinga rongonui kua whakarārangihia.

Ngā ātete raupapa me ngā ātete whakarara
I roto i ngā ara iahiko hiko, he maha ngā wā ka honoa ngā ātete i roto i te raupapa, i te whakarara rānei. Hei tauira, ka taea e te kaihoahoa ara iahiko te whakakotahi i ētahi ātete me ngā uara paerewa (raupapa-E) kia tae atu ki tētahi uara ātete motuhake. Mō te hononga raupapa, he rite te iahiko e puta ana i ia ātete, ā, he rite te ātete ōrite ki te tapeke o ngā ātete takitahi. Mō te hononga whakarara, he rite te ngaohiko e puta ana i ia ātete, ā, ko te whakahuri o te ātete ōrite he rite ki te tapeke o ngā uara whakahuri mō ngā ātete whakarara katoa. I roto i ngā tuhinga ātete whakarara me te raupapa, ka hoatu he whakaahuatanga taipitopito o ngā tauira tatau. Hei whakaoti rapanga i ngā whatunga uaua ake, ka taea te whakamahi i ngā ture ara iahiko a Kirchhoff.

Ine i te iahiko hiko (ātete shunt)
Ka taea te tatau i te iahiko hiko mā te ine i te hekenga ngaohiko i runga i tētahi ātete tika me te ātete e mōhiotia ana, e honoa raupapa ana ki te ara iahiko. Ka tatauhia te iahiko mā te whakamahi i te ture a Ohm. Ka kiia tēnei he āmita, he ātete shunt rānei. I te nuinga o te wā he ātete manganin tika teitei tēnei me te uara ātete iti.

Ngā ātete mō ngā rama LED
Me whai iahiko motuhake ngā rama LED hei whakahaere. E kore e whakamāramahia te rama LED e te iahiko iti rawa, engari ka taea e te iahiko teitei rawa te tahu i te taputapu. Nō reira, he maha ngā wā ka honoa raupapatia ēnei ki ngā ātete. Ka kiia ēnei he ātete papatahi, ā, ka whakahaere noa i te iahiko i roto i te ara iahiko.

Ātete mōtini pupuhi
I roto i ngā motuka, ka whakahaerehia te pūnaha hauhautanga e te pā hau e peia ana e te motuka pupuhi. Ka whakamahia he ātete motuhake hei whakahaere i te tere o te pā hau. Ka kiia tēnei ko te ātete motuka pupuhi. He rerekē ngā hoahoa e whakamahia ana. Ko tētahi hoahoa he raupapa o ngā ātete waea rerekē te rahi mō ia tere pā hau. Ko tētahi atu hoahoa he ara iahiko kua whakauruhia katoatia ki runga i te papa ara iahiko kua tāia.
