Main Power failure alarm and battery backup Circuit
This Main Power failure alarm circuit tells us when the electricity that powers a system or circuit, is gone.
Ohm’s Law and Electrical Power – Formulas
Ohm’s law and electrical power. Ohm’s law relates V, I, and R. A more complete expression of Ohm’s law is achieved using the electrical power formula
555 Timer Tester circuit
This 555 IC tester circuit, allows us to make sure that this integrated circuit works properly. This same test can be achieved by operating the 555 as astable multivibrator, but this test does not allow observing its operation in detail.
Capacitor and the Alternating Current
Capacitor and the Alternating Current. Unlike the behavior of a capacitor in direct current (DC), in the alternating current (AC) the current passes more easily through a capacitor.
Audible Logic Probe using the 555 Timer
Many logic probes use LEDs to visually indicate the logic state of the point under test. This causes the user to have to see the point under test and the LED at the same time.
What is a Logic Probe?
A logic probe is a simple and inexpensive instrument contained within a pen-like tube. It has 3 LED indicators that show the status of the point under test. 5 DIY Logic Probes
Schottky Diode (Schottky Barrier Diode)
Schottky Diode.
These diodes are characterized by their switching speed and low voltage drop when they are forward biased. (typically 0.25 to 0.4 volts)
Ideal Transformer Working Principle
Ideal transformer working principle. How the transformer works. Voltage & current transformation ratio. Power ratio between primary & secondary windings
Current Limiter circuit for Power Supply using transistor & resistor
Current Limiter circuit for a Power Supply using a transistor and a resistor.
If the load current exceeds its maximum, an over current protection is needed
DC Motor Speed Control with 4049
This DC motor speed controller allows you to vary the speed of small 3 or 6 volt DC motors often found in toys or small electronic devices.
Car Battery Monitor Circuit using 4 LEDs
Car battery monitor circuit using 4 LEDs
This simple Car battery monitor, allow us to know the voltage of the battery at all times. To achieve this 4 leds are placed somewhere on the dash of the car. Each LED has a label indicating the battery voltage at that time.
kWh – Cost of Electric Energy
The unit of measurement used in the electricity bill is the kWh, however in the electrical or electronic products that we buy in stores, the unit of electricity consumption is given in watts or kilowatts.
