Electrical Devices vs Electronic Devices

Electronics

Electrical devices Electronic devices What distinguishes electrical from electronic devices? Typically, something is electrical if it only uses electricity to provide energy. It is almost certainly electronic if it manipulates information using electricity as the medium. Devices that are electrical and electronic fall into distinct but related areas. Electrical devices are a subset of …

Radio waves Vs Microwaves

Electronics

Electromagnetic Waves Energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation (IR), visible light, ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays, Radio waves and gamma rays are all transmitted via electromagnetic waves. Typically, electromagnetic radiation is thought of as a wave motion. The magnetic and electronic fields oscillate in directions that are opposite from one another and …

Rectifier

Electronics

Rectifier The rectifier job is to change incoming AC from a transformer or other AC power source into a pulsing form of DC. In other words, it changes current that alternately flows in both directions so that the output current only flows in one direction. The circuit needed to perform this could be as simple …

Simplifier Formulas for Series and Parallel Circuits Resistance Calculations

Electronics

Combining resistors Series Resistance When two resistors are connected in series, the current is first limited or restricted by the first resistor and then further limited or restricted by the second resistor, increasing the effect of the series connection. Equivalent Series Resistance The total resistor value in a series circuit connection is equal to R, …

What is a Filter Circuit?

Electronics

Filter Circuit Rectifier converts in changing alternating current into direct current in the form of pulse, which only travels in one direction. The rectifier circuit are classified as half wave rectifier, Full wave rectifier & Bridge rectifier. All of these rectifier circuits’ outputs have some ripple factor. Full wave rectifier and its output response …
