Characteristics of Half Wave Rectifier A rectifier is a circuit which converts the Alternating Current (AC) input power into a Direct Current (DC) output power. A half-wave rectifier is a circuit that allows only one half-cycle of the AC voltage waveform to be applied to the load, resulting in one non-alternating polarity across it. Characteristics of Half Wave Rectifier: 1. Ripple factor: It Read more about Characteristics of Half Wave Rectifier[…]
Characteristics of Full Wave Rectifier A Rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverse direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process is known as Rectification. A full wave rectifier is a device which is used to rectify all the alternating current components in an Read more about Characteristics of Full Wave Rectifier[…]

Nuclear Reactor A nuclear reactor is a system used to initiate and contain a nuclear chain reaction, and they have many useful applications. These nuclear reactions produce thermal energy through either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Nuclear reactors are primarily used for the generation of electricity, however they can be used for propulsion in vehicles such as submarines or naval vessels, for production of useful isotopes or neutrons, Read more about Nuclear Reactor[…]
Half – Wave Rectifier A rectifier is a circuit which converts the Alternating Current (AC) input power into a Direct Current (DC) output power. The input power supply may be either a single-phase or a multi-phase supply with the simplest of all the rectifier circuits being that of the Half Wave Rectifier. A half-wave rectifier is a circuit that allows only one half-cycle of Read more about Half – Wave Rectifier[…]
Forward Bias The process by which a p – n junction diode allows the electric current in the presence of applied voltage is called forward biased p – n junction diode. In forward biased p – n junction diode, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the semiconductor material and the negative terminal Read more about Forward Bias[…]
Zener Diode A diode is a fundamental electronic component that allows the flow of electricity in one direction. A diode has low resistance to the flow of current in one direction and a very high resistance in the other. The diode most commonly used is the semiconductor diodes. What is a Zener Diode? Zener diode is Read more about Zener Diode[…]
Semiconductor Diode Diode: A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that has a low resistance to the flow of current in one direction thus allowing the passage of current in one direction whereas a high resistance in the other, thus restricting the flow of current in that direction. Semiconductor diodes are two terminal devices that consist Read more about Semiconductor Diode[…]
Electrical Insulators Electrical Insulator must be used in electrical system to prevent unwanted flow of current to the earth from its supporting points. The insulator plays a vital role in electrical system. Electrical Insulator is a very high resistive path through which practically no current can flow. Electrical insulators are different from electrical conductors. Electrical conductors are those materials which propagate the ease of Read more about Electrical Insulators[…]
Heat Engines Heat is a form of energy that can be easily transferred from one body to another. Heat engine is a kind of heat exchanger that converts heat into thermal and chemical energy. This energy is used to perform mechanical work. Real heat engines are complex and there are many ways of converting heat Read more about Heat Engines[…]
