In digital electronics, we classify circuits into two primary types which are – combinational circuits and sequential circuits. In the case of combinational circuits, the output depends only on the present input. Whereas, in the case of the sequential circuits, the output depends on the present input as well as the past output(s)/input(s). Due to … Read more
All the electronic components can be broadly classified into two main classes- Active components and passive components. Active components are those circuit elements that deliver energy or power to the circuit while passive components are the ones that utilize the power or energy in the circuit. Active components require an external source to operate while … Read more
We all are pretty aware that this era is a digital era. The 21st century is known for its out-of-the-box inventions and discoveries. This era has given us standards for living. There was a transition from 2G to 3G mobile networks generation. We have also seen 4G mobile technology coming into existence. It has completely … Read more
In recent times, cybersecurity has gained a lot of traction. Today almost everyone has access to the Internet. The Internet has played a major role in revolutionizing the 21st century. Most people spend a lot of time on the Internet than they did a decade ago. From paying our electricity bills to video conferencing with … Read more
The battery and capacitor both are energy-storing devices but both of them have their own way of storing the energy. The battery uses the chemical reactions for storing the energy while the capacitor uses the electric field for the same. A battery is an active device that provides energy/power to the circuit while a capacitor … Read more
An anode is an electrode where the oxidation reaction takes place or we can also define it as the terminal in which current flows into a device from outside. While reduction takes place at the cathode and the conventional current flows out of the device through this terminal. In this article, we will see the … Read more
Electrical and Electronics Engineering are the two most popular engineering branches. People often confuse between the two. Students are really puzzled while choosing an engineering branch from the above two. In this article, we will see the actual difference between Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Before we jump to the actual answer, please see what is … Read more
Metals and Non-Metals are two important classes of elements. Metals are those elements that are present on the left side of the periodic table and contain 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their valence shell. Non-metals on the other hand are the elements that are found on the right side of the periodic table and … Read more
Atom and molecule are the two terms that come to our minds when we think of the composition of an element or a compound. Atom is the smallest particle of an element that may or may not exist independently. On the other hand, a molecule is a combination of two or more atoms that are … Read more
Element and compound are two important classes of pure substance. An element is a pure substance that is made up of similar kinds of atoms. On the other hand, compounds are formed when two or more different types of elements are combined together in a fixed proportion. In this article, we will see the exact … Read more
