What is a Galvanometer ? Principle, Construction and Working

what is a galvanometer

What is a Galvanometer?  Let’s start with the introduction of the New article “What is a galvanometer”. A galvanometer is a permanent magnet moving coil (PMMC) instrument that is designed to detect and measure the small value of current and voltage in an electrical circuit. This type of instrument is very sensitive to enormously low … Read more

Star to Delta Starter? Explanation, Theory, Advantages and Disadvantages

star to delta starter

What is a Star to Delta starter?  Star to Delta starter or star-delta starter is one of the most common methods used for starting of three-phase induction motor. When the stator winding of the motor is directly connected with the supply, it will draw a very high current, and to control this high current Star-Delta … Read more

Hysteresis Loss and Formula of Hysteresis loss

HYSTERESIS LOSS

Hysteresis Loss and Magnetization curve MAGNETISATION CURVE OR B-H CURVE The curve drawn giving the relationship between magnetic flux density (B) and the magnetizing force (H)is known as the magnetization curve or B-H curve. When a magnetizing force is applied on a magnetic material, then the magnetizing flux density ‘B’ increases in direct proportion and … Read more

What is Relay| History and Working of Relay

what is relay

What is Relay? A relay is a device that opens and closes an auxiliary circuit under predetermined conditions in the main circuit. Relays are extensively used in electrical, electronics engineering, and many other fields. There are relays that are sensitive to conditions of current, voltage, temperature, frequency, or some other combination of these conditions.   … Read more

Single Phase Induction Motor| Construction & Working| Advantages and Disadvantages

single phase induction motor

Single Phase Induction Motor A single-phase induction motor in its physical appearance is similar to a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor. The 1-Φ phase induction motor has a distributed single-phase winding while in the case of the 3-Φ induction motor the stator has distributed three-phase windings. On comparing the performance characteristics of the single-phase induction … Read more

What is semiconductor? Properties and Types of semiconductor

what is semiconductor

WHAT IS  SEMICONDUCTOR? A semiconductor is defined as a substance whose electrical conductivity is intermediate between metallic conductors and non-metallic insulators. In other words, we can also define semiconductor as the substance which has resistivity (10-4 to 0.5 Ωm) in between metallic conductors and non-metallic insulators. Examples of semiconductors are germanium, silicon, selenium, etc. Properties … Read more
