This Electric Current Flow Indicator gives a visual indication that there is a current flow. Possible applications for this small circuit may be: a battery charger, a voltage power source, etc.
In order to achieve our objective we place 3 rectifier diodes in series, which in turn are in series with the load / battery.
What is a Photodiode? Light Detector Diode.
Photodiode looks similar to the common LED, but it has a feature that makes it very special. It is a device that converts light into electric current.
DC motor speed controller circuit using 555
This simple DC motor speed controller circuit, works with 12 volts and controls a DC motor using the 555 integrated circuit.
Dual polarity variable voltage source
This voltage source allows for two independent voltage outputs. One positive and one negative with a maximum amplitude of +/- 15 volts, an a current up to 1.5 amps.
A phototransistor is essentially the same as a common transistor, but it can work in two different ways:
– As a common transistor, using the base current (IB)
– As a phototransistor, using the light that illuminates this element and that acts as the base current. (IP).
Counter-electromotive force or Back-electromotive force
The voltage of a DC motor is divided into a voltage in the windings resistance and a voltage called Counter-electromotive force
DC Motor
A DC motor is composed of a stator and a rotor. In many small motors, the stator is composed of magnets. Larger motors have windings.
Static Electricity – What it is?
Static electricity is static, since it is a current that is going nowhere. Both, DC and AC current flow in some direction, but estatic electricity does not.
The Magnetic Field. Magnetic Field Lines
Magnets. Charges in motion (electric current) behave like magnets (produce magnetic fields)
XOR logic gate
In digital electronics there are special gates. One of them is the XOR logic gate or exclusive OR gate. Equivalent XOR Logic Gate using common logic gates
Sequential Circuits Using Logic Gates
The main difference between combinational circuits and sequential circuits is that in sequential circuits there is one or more output signals fed back to one or more inputs to obtain a new output.
Combinational Circuit Using Logic Gates
A combinational circuit is a circuit where the output depends only on the combination of the inputs at the time we are testing the output
