Photo diode Working Principle, Characteristics and Applications

Image
  Photodiode Working Principle, Characteristics and Applications A photodiode is a   PN-junction diode   that consumes light energy to produce electric current. Sometimes it is also called as photo-detector, a light detector, and photo-sensor. These diodes are particularly designed to work in reverse bias condition, it means that the P-side of the photodiode is associated with the negative terminal of the battery and n-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery. This diode is very complex to light so when light falls on the diode it easily changes light into electric current. The solar cell is also branded as large area photodiode because it   converts solar energy into electric energy . Though, solar cell works only in bright light. What is a Photodiode? A photodiode is one type of light detector, used to convert the light into current or voltage based on the mode of operation of the device. It comprises of optical filters, built-in lenses and also surface areas. These

Connection of Resistor

Image
Connection of Resistor In a circuit, there are two basic ways, by which resistor can connect together. These are 1.        Series Connection and 2.        Parallel Connection Besides this , there are also two types of connection . These are 1.        Star Connecton and 2.        Delta Connection Series Connection of Resistor Resistor is a two terminal passive component that used to limit the flow of current in a circuit. Assume the name of legs of R1 resistor is A and B. And the name of legs of R2 resistor is C and D. Now if B leg of R1 resistor is connected to C leg of R2 resistor and A and D legs are free or connect to other resistor in the same fashion, then such types of connection is called Series Connection. Resistor: Series Connection When two resistor are connected in Series, Resistance are added. Such that, if we calculate the total resistance of the circuit above, total resistance will be R CD = R1 + R2. For practical example ,

Basic Materials for Electronics: Conductor, Insulator and Semiconductor

Image
Basic Materials for Electronics: Conductor, Insulator and Semiconductor Today electronics is very important in our modern life. We are surrounded by electronics devices. From morning to night, every time, every second we use electronic devices to accelerate our daily work, to make our life easier. Computer, TV, mobile and there are thousands of electronic device which are mode of diode, transistor and integrated circuits. To understand how these devices work, we first have to study and understand the semiconductor materials that neither conductors nor insulators. Semiconductor contains some free electrons but these amounts of electrons are not sufficient to use in practical application. Depending on the conductivity or presence of electrons in a material, materials are divided into three categories.                         1. Conductor                                           2.    Semiconductor                                    3.   Insulator From Bohr’s atom m

Series RLC circuit acting as a Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor  When a resistor R, capacitor C and inductor L are connected in series with a ac supply voltage, then this circuit is called a series RLC circuit. This circuit can use in three different ways in practical use.       1.         As inductor 2.       As capacitor and 3.       As resistor Fig-1:  Series RLC circuit When acts a inductor, RLC circuit will show all the properties of an inductor i.e 1.       This circuit will store energy in  the form of magnetic flux 2.       For ideal case, Phase difference between current and voltage will be 90 degree. 3.       Voltage will lead current by 90 degree. When acts a capacitor, RLC circuit will show all the properties of an capacitor i.e 1.       This circuit will store energy in  the form of electric charge. 2.       For ideal case, Phase difference between current and voltage will be 90 degree. 3.       Current will lead voltage by 90 deg

RL Circuit acts as a resistor and Inductor and Common Application in Practical Life

Image
RL Circuit: When a resistor (R) and a inductor (L) are connected in series with a ac voltage source (v), then it is called series RL circuit. It is a first order differential circuit.  In this circuit, the values of R , L and v are fixed. By varying the frequency of the applied voltage, this RL circuit acts as a resistive circuit and inductive circuit. Fig-1: RL Circuit Total impedance of the circuit  Z  = sqr(R 2   + X L 2 ) From the above equation we see that , total impedance of a RL circuit consist of resistance and inductive reactance. The total impedance changes with frequency.   RL circuit acting as a Resistor:  As we know that, Inductive reactance, X L  =  2πfL,  that is inductive reactance increases  with increasing signal frequency. So at low frequency, the RL circuit acts as a resistive circuit, because at low frequency, inductive reactance will be much much lower than the resistance. And the circuit will act as a resistor and shows all the prop

Electronics in Practical Life

  Electronics in Practical Life The first question comes in our mind is what is electronics and why world run behind the electronics. What is the power of electronics and how electronics change our life style with its magical power? In our everyday life, we are surrounded by electronics devices and if I say we can’t stay a single moment without the help of electronics, it will not be probably false now days. Every moment we use electrical and electronic devices to make our life easy. We wake up in the morning by hearing the alarm and go to bed for sleep after watching television or using computer. In our everyday life, we use numerous electrical and electronic devices to make our life easy and perfect. Every moment we use our mobile for numerous purposes which is one of the magic of electronics. So in a body, we can say without the help of electronics our life would be so difficult. " Electronics is the game of electrons" So the question that comes in o
