Electronics in easy words.
Generators used for charging batteries are typically direct current (DC) generators. These generators produce a steady DC output, which is suitable for charging batteries, as batteries store electrical energy in…
A fuse can indeed act as protection against short circuits in electrical circuits. A fuse is a protective device designed to interrupt the flow of current when it exceeds a…
A lightning conductor, also known as a lightning rod or air terminal, is a metal rod or conductor installed on the top of a building or structure. Its primary function…
A shunt trip breaker works by incorporating a built-in shunt trip device that allows the breaker to be tripped remotely. The shunt trip device consists of a solenoid or coil…
Circuit breakers can deteriorate or go bad over time due to various factors such as age, wear and tear, environmental conditions, and electrical faults. One common issue is that the…
Batteries store and supply direct current (DC). This means the current flows consistently in one direction from the positive to the negative terminal. Whether it’s a small 1.5V battery or…
Deciding whether to use an AC motor or a DC motor depends on the specific application and requirements. AC motors are generally preferred for applications requiring high power, efficiency, and…
When a DC current is passed through an inductor, initially, the inductor opposes the change in current flow. According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, an induced electromotive force (emf)…
A transformer is typically classified as a passive device. This classification stems from its primary function of transferring electrical energy from one circuit to another through magnetic coupling, without altering…
When an inductor is connected to AC mains, it responds to the alternating current by generating a magnetic field that opposes changes in the current flow. Due to the inductor’s…
