In our modern society, extensive use of electricity has enabled various uses of transistors in every electronic circuit. Transistors are used in our day-to-day lives in many forms, which we are aware of as amplifiers and switching apparatuses. As amplifiers,…
We know that one of the main uses of resistor is to control the flow of current. In a resistor, electrons have a collision with ions which slows down the flow of electricity and lowers the current and also produces…
We know that the core use of a rectifier is to convert AC current into DC current. The rectifier consists of semiconductor diodes to do this function. There are various types of rectifiers namely: half-wave, full-wave, and full-wave bridges. Before we…
Batteries mainly provide backup power during a power outage. At home, the batteries are typically connected to electrical appliances so that the appliances can still receive power if the power goes down. For example, utilities can charge customers different rates…
What is Wiring The electrical power distribution through wires in a perfect manner for the economical use of wiring conductors inside a building or a room with better load control is known as electrical wiring. Types of Electrical Wiring The…
What Is a Switch? A switch is an electrical component that is used to turn on and turn off any equipment like a television, washing machine, lights, fans, etc. When the switch is off, the circuit is open, and there…
What Is a Resistor? A resistor is a device that obstructs the flow of current. It is a passive two-terminal device which is used to regulate the flow of electric current. Glass, Mica, Wood, Rubber, etc. are examples of resistive…
Various types of connectors are used to perform one particular function that is to connect or disconnect the circular path of the electric current. Depending upon the various functions of connectors such as design and durability, ease of connection, mating…
An electrical circuit consists of an organization of elements for the storage, transmission and conversion of energy. Energy enters a circuit through one or more sources and leaves through one or more sinks. In the sources energy is transformed from…
You might have seen those thick electric cables that are used to transmit electric current to our homes from the power station. In this article, we will learn more about these electrical cables and their different types. What is Electrical…
