Hacks of Electronics
Here are the basic electronics tutorial circuits for beginners. You can find here tutorials on operational amplifiers (opamp), transistor, MOSFETs, 555 timer IC, audio amplifiers and many more.
Let’s explore the various types of inductors, along with their unique properties and applications. An inductor is one of the fundamental passive components used in electrical and electronic circuits, along with resistors and capacitors. Inductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field when an electric current flows through them. The property of an […]
A laser diode is a semiconductor device that emits coherent light through the process of stimulated emission. It operates similarly to a light-emitting diode (LED) but produces a focused, monochromatic, and coherent beam of light. The emitted light waves have the same wavelength, frequency, and phase. The laser diode was invented by Theodore H. Maiman, […]
A Motion Sensor Light is an automatic lighting system that turns ON when it detects movement in its range and switches OFF after a certain period of inactivity. This system is widely used for energy conservation, security, and convenience. The circuit described here uses a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, a BC547 transistor, a relay, and […]
Understanding the common electrical sensors in healthcare and other medical devices is the first step toward appreciating the role electronics play in healthcare. This article explains the types, working principles, and applications of common electrical sensors used in healthcare in a detailed and easy-to-understand manner. Walk into any hospital today, and you will hear the […]
The Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is a three-terminal semiconductor device that is mainly used for triggering, pulse generation, relaxation oscillators, and phase control circuits. Unlike the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) or Field Effect Transistor (FET), the UJT does not function as an amplifier; instead, it acts as a switching device with negative resistance characteristics. The UJT […]
The LA3600 Audio Equalizer Circuit is a five-band graphic equalizer, meaning it divides the audio spectrum into five different frequency bands (from low bass to high treble) and allows independent control of each band. This provides a balanced and customizable audio experience. In audio systems, equalization is one of the most essential processes for improving […]
