Among the various types of transistors, the Junction Field Effect Transistors in short JFETs holds a distinctive place due to its unique operational characteristics and versatile applications. What is a JFET? A Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) is a type of field-effect transistor (FET) that utilizes an electric field to control the flow of current. Unlike […]
Potentiometers are electrical component used to measure or adjust voltage or current, it usually consists of a rotary or sliding adjusting device, and three electrical contacts, one of which is connected to the power supply, the other is grounded, and the third can be moved on the adjusting device of the potentiometer, which can be […]
Let’s understand working of thyristor by construction and explore some of its applications. Thyristor Definition: Also known as Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR), The Thyristor is a three-terminal, four-layer semiconductor device primarily used for high-power control and converting AC current into DC. It is typically used for high-power applications and is capable of switching large amounts […]
Let’s see various types of sensors within their classification and Applications. A sensor is a device or component that detects changes in its environment and converts those changes into an electrical signal or another form of readable data. Sensors are used in various applications to monitor, measure, or control processes, equipment, or environmental conditions. They […]
The MOC7811 is an optical sensor module commonly used for detecting motion or presence. It consists of an infrared emitter and a phototransistor, typically housed in a black plastic casing with a small gap in between for the passage of light. The emitter emits infrared light, and if an object comes within the range of […]
An induction heater circuit is a type of device used to heat conductive materials by inducing electromagnetic currents within the material. These heaters are commonly used in industrial applications for processes such as metal melting, forging, brazing, and heat treatment. They work based on the principles of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday. Induction Heater […]
