Capacitor Discharge Process.

In a series RC circuit, a capacitor does not immediately discharge after being disconnected from a power source of direct current. The capacitor voltage Vc decreases from the initial voltage on the capacitor to 0 volts in some amount of time.

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.

Temperature effects on resistance. Resistance Variation with Temperature.

The value of the resistance of a material varies with temperature change. For this reason, the circuit or system containing these elements should work in controled environment

Energy and Electric power.

Power is the speed at which work is done.

Electric power is the multiplication of the current (amps) by the voltage (volts). P = I x V.

Types of cells / batteries.

– Primary batteries (non-rechargeable): Dry, mercury, alkaline.
– Secondary batteries (rechargeable): Nickel-Cadmium Alkaline, Lead

Norton’s Theorem The Norton’s Theorem is similar to the Thevenin’s Theorem. It can be seen that, the equivalent circuit is: A Voltage source (Thevenin voltage: Vth) in series with a resistor (Thevenin resistance: RTH) Thevenin…
