Networking is nothing but establishing a connection between devices. A computer network is a group of computers and devices connected with each other that allows them to communicate with each other. Depending on the scope of the network, primarily, computer networks are divided into three categories – Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), … Read more
Biasing or applying bias means applying a steady dc voltage. Usually, when we apply a voltage across components like resistors, inductors, capacitors, etc. we do not need to consider the polarity of the voltage applied. But in the case of semiconductor devices such as a diode, BJT, FET, etc., the polarity of the voltage is … Read more
Current transformer and Potential transformer are the types of instrument transformer. An instrument transformer is a special type of transformer that is used in the measurement of high voltage and high current, not allowing measuring instruments to come in direct contact with high voltage circuits. Potential transformer is also known as voltage transformer. In this … Read more
In the applications of power electronics, converters and inverters play a very crucial role. The conversion of AC to DC or DC to AC is always an important phenomenon in the field of power electronics as well as in day-to-day life. In general terms, all the devices that convert power from one form to another … Read more
Core type transformer and shell type transformer are the types of transformer based on construction differences. In this article, we will see the difference between core and shell type transformer based on the iron requirement, conducting material requirement, leakage flux, maintenance, natural cooling, types of winding usage, applications, etc. Let us see the difference between … Read more
Data is primarily of two types i.e. primary data and secondary data. In this article, we will see the main difference between primary and secondary data. Primary Data Secondary Data Primary Data is original in character. Secondary Data is not original. The collection of this type of data is expensive. The collection of this type … Read more
Diode a nonlinear device that is used to control the direction of current in a circuit. It is made by combining a piece of p-type and a piece of n-type semiconductor. The layer between p-type and n-type semiconductors is called the depletion region which is made of immobile carriers. A diode has two terminal pins; … Read more
The diode is a unilateral electronic device. It has two terminals termed – Cathode and Anode. When the diode is forward biased i.e., the anode is kept at a higher potential than the cathode, then ideally, the diode acts as a short circuit (zero resistance) and a large current will pass through it even if … Read more
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two of the most trending technologies now. Nowadays, hardly any smart devices or systems are designed without complete or partial application of AI or ML. Though the term AI and ML are commonly used together, they are different from each other. Here, we will discuss the difference … Read more
Most of us always use the terms circuit and network interchangeably. Actually it is not so. The two terms have a significant difference between them. In this article, we will remove the confusion and see what is the difference between circuit and network. Let first see the basic definitions. What is Network? A network is … Read more
