A generator, also known as an electric generator or dynamo, produces electricity through the process of electromagnetic induction. This fundamental principle was first discovered by Michael Faraday and is based…
In a CE (Common Emitter) amplifier, blocking and bypass capacitors serve specific purposes. The blocking capacitor is employed in the input to block any DC component from the source, ensuring…
Transformers are rated in volt-amperes (VA) rather than watts due to the nature of alternating current (AC) power and the complex relationship between voltage and current in AC circuits. The…
Operation of Voltage-Controlled Devices: The Basic Idea 1. Introduction: A voltage-controlled device (VCD) is an electronic component or system whose behavior or operation is influenced by the voltage applied to…
An RCBO, or Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection, is a specialized electrical device designed to provide protection against both earth fault currents (residual current) and overcurrents. This combination…
Describing a diode as a square wave device might be a simplification or an approximation used in certain contexts, particularly when considering its behavior in specific electronic circuits. However, it’s…
Transistors continue to be widely used in various electronic devices and applications, playing a crucial role in modern technology. Here’s an in-depth exploration of the continued use of transistors in…
A capacitor holds charge when disconnected from the supply due to the fundamental principles of electrostatics and the behavior of electric fields within the capacitor. Understanding this phenomenon requires examining…
Electrical machines and transducers are both devices used in the field of electrical engineering, but they serve different purposes and operate on distinct principles. Let’s explore the differences between an…
The use of permanent magnets in traditional transformers is not common, and this is primarily due to the fundamental operating principles of transformers and the nature of permanent magnets. Let’s…
