Domestic electric circuit explanation

The electricity generated from the power station is distributed to domestic and industrial users by overhead and underground cables. The first stage of the domestic circuit is to get the power supply to the main box from a distribution panel like a transformer. The main components of the main box are the Fuse Box and … Read more

Led Bulb working Principle

Working principle of Led A led bulb is a semiconductor device that emits light when electricity passed through it. The colour of the light depends on the material used in the led making. With the help of chemical compounds like Gallium Arsenide and Gallium Phosphide, a Led bulb that gives red, green, yellow, and orange … Read more

Bones and muscles in the Human body

Bones and muscles in the Human body

Bones and Joints The adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones. The bones along with approximately 700 skeletal muscles account for 50% of our body weight. Bones provide protection and support. When two or more bones join together, a joint or articulation is formed. Several types of joints help in movements. Muscles Muscles are elastic … Read more

Classification of Materials in electronics

Classification of Materials in electronics

Classification of Materials Solids are classified into insulators, metals, and semiconductors. Insulators The valence band and the conductor band are separated from each other by an enormous energy gap. The energy gap between the valence band and the conductor is approximately 6eV. The energy gap is enormous, and even high voltage or electric field or … Read more

Zener diode characteristics and applications

Zener diode characteristics and applications

Zener diode is a reverse-biased heavily doped silicon diode named after the invention by C.Zener. Zener diode is specially designed to operate in the breakdown region. The doping level of silicon diodes can be varied as per breakdown voltages needed from 2V to 1000 V.  The maximum reverse bias applied before entering into the Zener … Read more

What is rectification in electronics?

What is rectification in electronics?

Rectification The process of converting alternating current into the direct current is called Rectification. There are two types of rectifiers, one is a half-wave rectifier and the other is a full-wave rectifier. Half-wave Rectifier Circuit The circuit consists of a transformer, a p-n junction diode, and a resistor. In a half-wave rectifier circuit, either a … Read more

How many types of Semiconductors?

How many types of Semiconductors

There are two types of Semiconductors. They are Intrinsic and Extrinsic semiconductors. Types of Semiconductors Intrinsic Semiconductor Extrinsic Semiconductor Intrinsic Semiconductor A semiconductor in its pure form without impurity is called an intrinsic semiconductor. Here impurity means any other atom in the crystal lattice. Each Silicon atom has four electrons in the outermost orbit and … Read more
