Choosing the right types of wiring is important as wiring connects various accessories for the distribution of electricity from supplier meter board to many domestic appliances. In this article, let us learn about the different types of wiring. What is Wiring? The electrical power distribution through wires in a perfect manner for the economical use… Continue reading Types of Wiring
Types of Transistors
A transistor is made of semiconductor and there are various types of transistors depending on their characteristics and has their advantages and disadvantages. Some types of transistors are listed below: Bipolar Junction Transistor Diffusion Transistor Avalanche Transistor Schottky Transistor Darlington Transistor Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Field Effect Transistor Junction FET Transistor Dual Gate MOSFET Multiple-Emitter Transistor… Continue reading Types of Transistors
Types of Cables
What is Electrical Cable? The cable that is used for the transmission and distribution of electrical power is known as the electrical power cable. It is used for the transmission of high voltages in places where overhead lines are impractical to use. The power cable is made of three main components, namely, conductor, dielectric, and… Continue reading Types of Cables
Types of Switches
What is a Switch? A switch is an electrical component that is used to turn on and turn off any equipment like television, washing machine, lights, fans, etc. When the switch is off, the circuit is open and there is no flow of current. The current will flow when the circuit is closed which means… Continue reading Types of Switches
Types of Battery
A battery can be defined as the collection of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Batteries were introduced to store generated electrical energy. It is important to store energy because it could be used when the generation is down or to power up stand-alone devices that cannot be… Continue reading Types of Battery
Types Of Forces
What is a Force? Force is pushing or pulling any object resulting from the object’s interaction with another object. Without force, nothing can be moved, stopped or change the direction. It is a quantitative interaction between two physical bodies, between an object and its environment. There are various types of forces in nature. If an… Continue reading Types Of Forces
Types of Motors
We know there are generally two types of motors, AC motor, and DC motor. AC motors are flexible for speed control and demand low power during start. On the other hand, DC motors are widely used due to its initial cost of low power units is less compared to AC and can be easily installed.… Continue reading Types of Motors
Transformer
The transformer in the simplest way can be described as a thing that steps up or steps down voltage. In a step-up transformer, the output voltage is increased and in a step-down transformer, the output voltage is decreased. The step-up transformer will decrease the output current and the step-down transformer will increase the output current… Continue reading Transformer
Types of Gears
We can have various types of gears depending upon their axe’s position and can be classified into intersecting, non- intersecting shafts and parallel shafts. Some types of gears are listed below: Internal gear Mitre gear Worm gear Screw gear Spiral bevel gear Bevel gear Gear rack Spur gear Helical gear Internal gear These type of… Continue reading Types of Gears
