The terms electricity and magnetism came into existence thousands of years ago and for a long period of time, both the electricity and magnetism are supposed two different and unrelated phenomena. But, in 1820, a Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism by his experiment. Oersted found in his experiment that a current flowing through a wire deflects the needle of a magnetic compass placed near to it. By this observation, he concluded that the flow of electric current (or movement of charge) produces a magnetic field in its nearby region.In 1831, Michael Faraday shown ... Read More
Both diode and SCR are types of semiconductor devices that act as a static switch to control the flow of electric current. Both diode and SCR are unidirectional switches used in a number of electronic circuits. One major application of diode and SCR is that both are used for rectification purpose. However, there are many differences between diode and SCR based on their basic definition, construction, working, applications, etc.In this article, we will explain all the major differences between diode and SCR along with their short description.What is a Diode?A diode is a two-terminal PN junction semiconductor electronic device which ...

In electrical and electronics engineering, a periodic vibration in voltage or current is known as oscillation or electronic oscillation. Oscillation in electronics can also defined as a process of repeating cyclic vibrations of voltage or current about its equilibrium value in time.The number of times the cycle repeats per second is known as the frequency of the oscillation and is measured in cycles per seconds or Hertz (Hz).Some energy at a specific frequency is required to produce the oscillations, this requirement is fulfilled with the help of an electronic circuit called oscillator. An oscillator is an electronic circuit which is ... Read More
The electrical power produced at the generating stations is transmitted to the points of utilization which is achieved with the help of grids (an interconnected network for electricity transmission and distribution from producers to the consumers). Based on the devices used and their functionality, the electric power grids are classified into two categories viz. −Conventional grid (or traditional grid)Smart gridMany issues contribute to the incapability of conventional grid to competently meet the demand for consistent power supply. In order to resolving these problems, the smart grids are developed which is infused with the intelligent sensors and controllers, automated switches and ... Read More
The ability of a body to perform work is known as energy. In our daily life, we use a number of sources of energy for doing work. These sources of energy are broadly classified into two categories viz.Conventional Energy SourcesNon-Conventional Energy SourcesIn this article, we will explain all the significant differences between conventional and non-conventional energy sources by considering various parameters such as basic definition, availability, exhaustibility, cost, uses, etc. But, before discussing the differences, it is advantageous to know that what conventional and non-conventional energy sources are.What are Conventional Energy Sources?The sources of energy that are being used for ...

An electrical machine that is used for the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is known as electric motor. Based on the type of electric supply input, the electric motors are of two types − AC motor and DC motor. An AC motor is the one which takes alternating current supply as input and converts it into mechanical energy while the DC motors takes DC supply as input.Present day advancements in the motor technology allows the use of DC motors in several applications from small toys to larger industrial machinery. DC motors come in two variants viz. Brushed DC ... Read More

In this tutorial, we will learn to use the throw statement in JavaScript. The “throw” is the reserved keyword in JavaScript, and Programmers can use the throw keyword to create the user-defined exception.Every programmer is not perfect, so they can’t write the JavaScript code without making a single error. It also happens that programmers are taking the input from the user, and an exception occurs if the user enters the invalid input. Some built-in exceptions include arithmetic exceptions, Index out-of-bound exceptions, etc. In some cases, programmers want to create their exception and can do it using the throw statement inside ...
