Difference between Instrument Transformer and Power Transformer
A transformer is an electrical machine which changes the level of voltage or current to a desired value. A transformer consists of two windings namely, primary winding and secondary winding. These windings are wound on a core and are insulated from the core as well as from each other. When an alternating power supply is connected to the primary winding, it sets up a time varying magnetic field in the core. This changing magnetic field links with the secondary winding to produce an EMF in it which creates a potential difference across the load terminals. Depending on the application, there ...
Read MoreDifference between Impulse Turbine and Reaction Turbine
A turbine is a device which converts the energy of some fluid into rotational mechanical energy. There are a number of turbines available based on the type of input fluid used such as steam turbine, water turbine, gas turbines, etc. Also, based on the action of fluid (water) the hydro-turbines are classified into two types, viz. Impulse Turbine Reaction Turbine In this article, we will discuss all the major differences between an impulse turbine and a reaction turbine. But, before discussing the difference, let's get a basic overview of these two types of turbines. What is an ...
Read MoreDifference between Electronics and Power Electronics
Electronics and Power Electronics are the two branches of electrical and electronics engineering. They seem similar, but there are many differences between them. In this article, we will explain what electronics and power electronics are and the major differences between them. What is Electronics? The term Electronics represents the field of engineering which deals with the study of emission, behavior and control of electrons in vacuum, gases and semiconductors and with the electronic devices such as diode, transistors, etc. Based on the type of signal processing, the electronics is broadly classified into two types viz. analog electronics and digital electronics. ...
Read MoreDifference between Francis and Kaplan Turbine
A turbine is a device which converts the energy of some fluid into rotational mechanical energy. There are a number of turbines available based on the type of input fluid used such as steam turbine, water turbine, gas turbines, etc.In this article, we will discuss about Francis turbine and Kaplan turbine and the key differences between them. Both Francis turbine and Kaplan turbine are types of water turbines, where the hydraulic energy of water is converted into mechanical energy (rotation of turbine). Basically, both Francis and Kaplan turbines come under the category of reaction turbine, which means in both cases, ...
Read MoreDifference between Cell and Battery
Both cell and battery are the sources of electrical energy in any electrical circuit that provide necessary excitation to the circuit. The cell and battery always deliver electric power to the circuit in the form of direct current (DC), they can never deliver alternating current (AC). Therefore, in practice, the cell and battery are the primary sources of direct current (DC) electricity. However, the working principle of both cell and battery is the same, i.e. electrochemical reactions where the electrical energy is converted into chemical energy and vice-versa. In this article, we will compare cell and battery by considering ...
Read MoreDifference between Capacitor and Supercapacitor
Both capacitor and supercapacitor are passive circuit components that store electrical energy in the form of electrostatic charge. Thus, the primary function of capacitor and supercapacitor is the same, i.e., storage of electric charge. However, there are many difference between a capacitor and a supercapacitor.In this article, we will discuss the key differences between capacitor and supercapacitor by considering various parameters such as definition, construction, types, energy density, etc. But before that we should learn the basics of capacitor and supercapacitor so that it becomes easier to understand the differences.What is a Capacitor?A capacitor is a two terminal passive circuit ...
Read MoreSwift Program to Find the Area of a Parallelogram
This tutorial will discuss how to write a swift program to find the area of a parallelogram.A Parallelogram is a quadrilateral that is created using parallel lines.Where the opposite sides are parallel and equal and the opposite angles of the parallelograms are equal. It is of three types - rectangle, square, and rhombus.In a parallelogram, an area is known as the space that is enclosed inside the boundaries or sides of the parallelogram in the two-dimensional plane. Suppose we have a tea try now the area of the parallelogram helps us to find how much paint we required to cover ...

This tutorial will discuss how to write a swift program to find the area of a trapezium.A trapezium is a quadrilateral with at least a pair of opposite parallel sides. The parallel sides are known as the base and the non-parallel sides are known as the legs of the trapezium. The distance between the parallel sides is known as the height of the trapezium.In a trapezium, an area is known as the space that is enclosed inside the boundaries of the trapezium in the two-dimensional plane. Suppose we have a board, now the area of the trapezium helps us to ...
Read MoreSwift Program to Find the Perimeter of a Rectangle
This tutorial will discuss how to write a swift program to find the perimeter of a Rectangle.A rectangle is a 2-dimensional closed shape with four sides in which opposite sides are parallel and equal to each other. It also has four angle with 90 degrees each.The perimeter of the rectangle is used to calculate the boundary of the rectangle. Or we can say that it is the total distance covered by the rectangle’s outer boundary as show in the above diagram. It is the one of the most important formula of the rectangle. Suppose we want to fence our rectangular ...
Read MoreSwift Program to Calculate simple interest and compound interest
This tutorial will discuss how to write a swift program to calculate the simple interest and compound interest. Compound Interest The interest applied on the principal and interest together over a certain period of time is known as the compound interest. Or in other words compound interest is known as the interest on interest. It is calculated after calculating amount. Formula Following is the formula of compound interest − Amount(A) = Principal(P)(1 + Rate/100)Time(t)C.I = Amount(A) - Principal(P) Where Principal(P) − Principal amount represents the amount which is initially invested. Rate(R) − Rate represents the interest rate which applied ...
