We are aware of the uses of Zener diode which is to permit the current flow in forward or reverse direction. Zener diode is a semiconductor device consisting of a P-N junction which conducts the current in reverse direction when a certain specified voltage is reached. It has a reverse breakdown voltage which means it…

Transformers are used to transfer current from one circuit to another without any physical contact between them and without changing the frequency or phase. There are various uses of transformer depending on the type. Some of the most common applications are mentioned below. According to the necessity, transformers are classified into: Power Transformers Distribution Transformers…

Imagining the world without any use of electricity is very difficult these days. Small things like study lamp to big things like a plane requires electricity to operate. Human civilization has become very modern, and electricity is needed everywhere. Here, some of the most notable uses of electricity on a daily basis are mentioned. Entertainment…

An electromagnet is a kind of magnet where the magnetic field is created by an electric current. The uses of electromagnets are given here to help learners understand the topic more effectively. Electromagnets can be considered as a temporary magnet that functions with the help of an electric current. The magnetic strength of an electromagnet…

What is Inductor? An inductor is defined as a passive component that is used in most electrical circuits to store energy in the form of magnetic energy when electric current flows through it. It is also known as the coil, choke, or reactor. It is a two-terminal electrical component that is characterized by its inductance.…

We know that one of the main uses of resistor is to control the flow of current. In a resistor, electrons have a collision with ions which slows down the flow of electricity and lowers the current and also produces heat. If a resistor is said to have high resistance then it means less current…

We know the core uses of Vernier Calipers is for measuring the distance between two opposite side of a surface. We can measure the internal and external dimensions and even the height of an object with accuracy. It can measure up to one-hundredth of a millimeter. Some applications of vernier calipers are listed below: Science…

A lens is a transmissive optical device that disperses or focuses a light ray by means of refraction. Concave means hollowed inward or curving in; so, concave lenses are hollowed inward. A concave lens is also called as a negative lens or a diverging lens. There are numerous uses of the concave lens, like in telescopes,…

How are Magnets Useful? Magnets have been proving its worth every day with its incredible function by making the most strenuous tasks easier. With the various uses of magnets in daily life, we can do heavy lifting which is not humanly possible to do every day. Magnets play an important role in various devices which…

In our modern society, extensive use of electricity has enabled various uses of transistors in every electronic circuit. Transistors are used in our day to day lives in many forms which we are aware of as amplifiers and switching apparatus. As amplifiers, they are being used in various oscillators, modulators, detectors and nearly in any…
