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

Even though both these devices are used in optics but there is a difference between mirror and lens. The mirror is a device is based on the principle of reflection whereas the lens is based on the principle of refraction. Both these devices are used in various industries such as photography or astronomy etc. Difference… Continue reading Difference Between Mirror and Lens

Usually, both these terms sound the same, but there is a difference between scalar and vector quantities. Both these quantities are used to represent the motion of an object. Difference Between Scalar and Vector A scalar quantity is different from a vector quantity in terms of direction. Scalars don’t have direction whereas vector has. Due… Continue reading Difference Between Scalar and Vector

Work is defined as the process of energy transfer to the motion of an object through the application of force. This is usually represented as the product of force and displacement. The SI unit of work is Joule. Power is defined as the amount of energy transferred in unit time. The SI unit of power… Continue reading Difference Between Work and Power

There is a noticeable difference between KVA and KW even though both are used to represent electric current. These units are power ratings used in every measuring instrument for measuring the current characteristics. Both the units are used to express power and are abbreviations of kilovolt amperes and kilowatts. In this session, let us know… Continue reading Difference Between KVA and KW

The terms Gravitation and Gravity define the phenomenon that causes masses to attract each other. These terms are used interchangeably, and it is permitted to do so. However, in some fields of study, the difference between gravitation and gravity is more prominent. The term ‘Gravity’ is used when the gravitational field is taken as a… Continue reading Difference Between Gravitation and Gravity

We often talk about heat and temperature in our daily life in terms of weather or sometimes in terms of temperature. But do we know the difference between heat and temperature? It is important to realize the minute difference between heat and temperature scales of measuring the hotness or coldness of any object. Heat vs… Continue reading Difference Between Heat and Temperature

Resistance is defined as the property of the conductor which opposes the flow of electric current. It is also defined as the ratio of the voltage applied to the electric current flowing through it. The resistance of a conductor depends on the length, area of cross-section, and the nature of the material that is used… Continue reading Difference Between Resistance and Resistivity

The difference between mass and weight is one of the most frequently asked questions. Some students often use the terms mass and weight interchangeably, which is completely wrong. There are several differences between mass and weight that are discussed here in detail. Before going to the mass and weight difference, it is important to know… Continue reading Difference Between Mass and Weight

Difference Between Concave and Convex Mirror The difference between concave and convex mirror is crucial to understand as the properties of both these mirrors are not properly understood by most of us. The difference between concave and convex mirrors is also one of the most commonly asked questions in the physics exams and in competitive… Continue reading Difference Between Concave and Convex Mirror
