Ohm’s law describes the amount of resistance the current has to face while it travels between two points. Definition: Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points, given that the physical conditions such as length of wire, temperature etc remain constant. What’s actually […]
Dioder is a semiconductor device with two terminals, typically allowing the flow of current in one direction only. Diodes allow current to flow when the anode is positive in relation to the cathode. It is sometimes useful to summarise the different types of diode that are available. Some of the categories may overlap, but the […]

The figure shown explains the difference between AM & FM. A high-frequency carrier is used in both the modulation schemes. In AM, the amplitude of the carrier signal is modulated according to the varying amplitudes of the input signal (Black color), maintaining constant frequency for the resultant AM signal (Red color) In FM, the […]
Aside from the fact that they have totally opposite effects on the current in a circuit, capacitors and inductors are two totally different but equally important components of modern electronics. An inductor is nothing more than a coil of wire, with as few as two loops up to hundreds of loops wrapped around a core. […]
Single phase and three phase are two forms of alternating current which involve a sinusoidally varying voltage or current. The single phase is used in a place where less power is required and for running the small loads. The three phases are used in large industries, factories and in the manufacturing unit where a large […]
Current Transformer If the CT is under service the secondary of a C.T cannot be open circuited on any condition. The CT can be regarded as a series transformer. The current in the primary side of a C.T is independent of the secondary also known as the burden. The primary winding of the CT is […]
A current transformer is a device which produces an alternating current in its secondary which is proportional to the alternating current in its primary. A current transformer (C.T.) is used where the current is too high to measure directly, or the voltage in the primary circuit is too high, so the galvanic isolation between primary […]
The universal motor is nothing but dc series motor. When dc motor is supplied with AC supply then torque generated is positive for both half cycles. Because during the negative half cycle, armature current reverses and flux also reverses so that resultant torque is in the same direction as that of the positive half cycle. […]
