Ohms Law – Heat and Power
Every electronic and electrical appliance in this world runs with power. When this happens, some energy is dissipated in the form of Heat. Whereas the Power is the flow of voltage and current in a […]
Ohms Law Basics – Voltage, Current and Resistance
In the previous tutorial, we had discussed the applications of current, voltage, and importance of Coulomb’s law in electricity. But, without ohms law the operation of an electric circuit becomes incomplete. To fulfill this, Ohms […]
Examples of Conductor and Insulator with Applications
There are many types of conductor and insulator used in electrical and electronic circuits. Substances covered with metal shields are the electrical conductors. In a conductor, electric current flows in the form of negatively charged […]
Conductor and Insulator
Electricity travels through different materials like copper. But have you ever thought how metals conduct electricity? Do all metals conduct electricity and why? In this tutorial, you will know the different types of conductor and […]
Secure Water Pump Switch
Here is the circuit diagram of an independent water pump switch controller with ‘soft’ on/off buttons. Since the circuit uses low-voltage switches, even a kid can operate it safely. Besides, there’s also a dry-run protection […]
