Engineering Probability
Thermal noise, also known as Johnson-Nyquist noise, is the random electronic noise generated by the thermal agitation of charge carriers (usually electrons) in a conductor at equilibrium. It is present in all electrical components and is particularly significant in resistors, as it arises from the temperature of the material, making it a key factor in understanding random signals and noise in electronic systems.
congrats on reading the definition of thermal noise. now let's actually learn it.
