The MOSFET (Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor) is an active semiconductor device most widely used in Integrated circuits. It is a voltage-controlled device because the current between source and drain is controlled by the gate voltage. MOSFET is a unipolar device because the charge carriers that are responsible for current are either electron (in NMOS) … Read more

In this article, we are giving a list of different types of Plug & Socket that are Used in Different Countries. There are currently 15 types of electrical outlet plugs. Each plug and socket combination is assigned a letter by the US Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (ITA), starting with A and moving through … Read more
For the normal working of Silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), the operating conditions should not exceed SCR’s specified ratings. But practically, the SCR may be subjected to abnormal conditions such as overvoltages, overcurrent, high dv/dt, high dI/dt and excessive heating. This may lead to the SCR to work abnormally and may cause unwanted turn-on or permanent … Read more
The amount of charge flowing through any cross-section of a substance in a unit time is called Electric current. It can also be defined as the rate of flow of charge through any cross-section of a substance. If the electric current does not change with time, then electric current, i = q/t where q = … Read more
A switch is an electrical component that can “make” or “break” an electrical circuit. A switch mainly works with ON and OFF mechanism. Types of Switches 1. Ideal Switch 2. Practical Switch Ideal Switch 1. It should have zero resistance or zero voltage drop in ON state and infinite resistance or zero current during OFF … Read more
The Carey Foster bridge is an electrical circuit that can be used to measure medium resistances. It works on the same principle as Wheatstone bridge works i.e. operates upon a null indication principle. It was invented by Carey Foster. Carey Foster Bridge Working The working of Carey foster bridge is based on the working of … Read more
LED full form is Light Emitting Diode. It is a p-n junction diode that gives off visible light or infrared (invisible) light when forward biased. The working of LED is based on Electroluminence i.e. conversion of electrical energy into light. LED light is emitted due to the large number of recombination of electron and hole. … Read more
