Difference between Zener breakdown and Avalanche breakdown

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

Difference between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

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

Difference between Positive and Negative Feedback loop

In our previous article, we discuss the difference between open and closed loop control systems. The closed loop system comprises feedback. The feedback can be positive or negative depending upon the application. Let see what is the difference between positive and negative feedback loop control system. The main difference between the two is that in … Read more

Coulomb’s Law – Definition

Coulomb’s law allows us to calculate the electrostatic force acting between two electric charges. Force can be repulsive or attractive depending upon the type of electric charge. There is a force of repulsion if both are like charges. There is a force of attraction if both are unlike charges. We can experimentally verify this law. … Read more

Difference between Electric Potential and Potential Difference

Electric potential and potential difference are two different things. The main difference between electric potential and potential difference is that electric potential is defined at a point whereas the potential difference is defined between two points. Let see in detail the differences based upon definition, formula, unit, etc. Difference between Electric Potential and Potential Difference … Read more
