The Core-laminated Transformer – Why is a Transformer Core-laminated?
Why it is not possible to use a solid iron core instead of core-laminated? What is Eddy or Foucault’s currents?
The half-wave rectifier rectification process.
Polarization of semiconductor diode in the forward and in the reverse direction. Input and output waveforms
Push – Pull Amplifier
A Push – Pull amplifier is called that way, because it uses 2 groups of transistors and only one works at a time. One group pushes in one direction while the other pulls in another direction. Each group is responsible for amplifying a single phase of the input wave.
Parallel RC circuit
Voltage, Currents, Phasor diagram & Impedance. Voltage is the same on the capacitor and resistor. Current is ahead of the voltage in the capacitor
Basic structure of the sinusoidal oscillator
The sinusoidal oscillator basic structure consists of an amplifier (A) and a selective frequency network (ß) connected in a positive feedback loop
The series RC circuit.
In a series RC circuit, the current through the resistor and the capacitor is the same. The voltage VS is equal to the phasor addition of the voltage drop across the resistor (Vr) and the voltage drop across the capacitor (Vc).
Air core inductor coil inductance calculation
There are some occasions when we have an air core inductor, and we don’t know what its value is. There is an easy way to obtain the air core inductor coil inductance if you have the external measurements of this component.
The Electric Power Transformer usage – The Transformer Distribution System
Electric power transformers are static electrical machines that allows modification of the voltage and the current values, so they can take the appropriate one (value) to carry and distribute the electric energy.
What is Alternating Current?
The difference between an alternating current and a continuous current is that the continuous current flows only on one direction. The alternating current circulates first in one direction and then on the opposite one, repeating this process continuously.
Iron Core Inductor
The iron core has very special magnetic characteristics. What they do is to reinforce the magnetic field. The magnetism of the core material depends on the bias of “the molecular magnetic domains”
What is Resonance in RLC Circuits?
Resonance in RLC Circuits is a special condition for parallel and series RLC circuits, when capacitive reactance and inductive reactance have the same magnitude and cancel each other. This only happens at frequency fo.
