Introduction We know that the gas’s large number of molecules are known as particles. The particles move randomly here and there without any alignment and due to this random motion, they strike each other and change their path. When it is not easy to understand the actual paths of moving particles, then we use the concept of mean free path. In the mean free path, the moving particle refers to an atom, a photon, or a molecule. What is a collision? In any instance, when two or more bodies hit each other by exerting force in a short period ... Read More

Introduction All matter around us is made up of molecules. Because these molecules are in motion, each molecule has kinetic energy and static energy due to the gravitational force of other molecules around it. The amount of kinetic energy and static energy is the internal energy of the molecules. When this internal energy flows out of an object, it is called thermal energy. The matter is a term we use to refer to all things in the universe. Everything around us is matter. The air we breathe, the food we eat, the pen we write with, a cloud, stones, plants, ... Read More

Voltage and amperage are both significant topics in electrical engineering. While they are related, they are relevant to different electrical circuit features. Voltage and current are two important electrical concepts. Voltage, measured in volts (V), is the potential difference between two points in a circuit that drives current flow. The flow of electric charge through a conductor is referred to as current, which is measured in amperes (A or amps). Read this article to find out more about Volt and Amp and how they are different from each other. What is Volt? Voltage is a fundamental term in electricity that ... Read More

Introduction Conservation of electric charge is one of the basic laws of nature. During the 18th century, one of the physicists named as Benjamin Franklin discovered the electric charge. He started the study of electricity in 1740 itself. For this discovery he went through some experiments and found the existence of the positive charge and negative charge. But this concept came into practice only when the batteries were introduced. Definition of Electric Charge Electric charge is one of the basic physical properties of matter, which is carried out by some elementary particles like electrons, protons, lepton, krypton and meson. ...

Quartz watch movements are powered by a battery, while automated watch movements are powered by a complex system of gears, springs, and other mechanical components used to keep time. Read this article to find out more about Quartz and Automated Movement in Watches and how they are different from each other. What is Quartz Movement in Watches? Quartz-movement watches are powered by a battery-operated quartz crystal oscillator. It was first developed in 1960. Quartz watches are the most popular because of their accuracy and low cost. One of the main advantages of quartz-movement watches is their great accuracy. A ... Read More

mAh (milliampere-hours) refers to a battery's capacity, or the amount of energy it can store and deliver. NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) refers to the chemical composition of the battery. Read this article to find out more about NiMH and mAH batteries and how they are different from each other. What are NiMH Batteries? In NiMH batteries, hydrogen is used to store energy. Nickel Metal Hydride consists of a nickel hydroxide positive electrode plate, a hydrogen ion negative electrode plate, potassium hydroxide or another alkaline electrolyte, and a separator. NiMH batteries are commonly used in cell phones, digital cameras, pagers, electric toothbrushes, ... Read More

Introduction The movement of the charged particles is responsible for electric energy. Energy obtained from the kinetic energy or potential energy of the charged particles is the electric energy. Charged particles are atoms, molecules, or ions with a charge. The force of attraction or repulsion between the charged particles ends on coulomb’s law. Electricity is an important form of energy. When there is a disturbance in the attractive force between the charged particles the atom gains or loses electrons. These free electrons are responsible for electricity through them. Electricity is the movement of electric charges. What is a Static ... Read More

Introduction Most people are very doubtful about the terminology ‘Potential’. In our school time when we first time listened to this term, we learned that potential is somewhat related to the position. However, it means capacity or strength. The term electric potential represents the strength of electricity. When we start a study for electricity, the first thing we have to face is a charge. The charge is the base of electronics. It is of two types; positive and negative. As we proceed with the charge, we come to know about the electric field, electric potential, potential energy, dipole, etc. Every ... Read More

Introduction When we study a charge or a system of charge, we see that every charge has a definite amount of electric field which exerts the electrostatic force of repulsion or attraction on other charges and charged particles according to their nature. The effect of electricity can be experienced with the help of a unit charge, also known as a test charge. The electric field around a charge or system of charge can be described in two forms; The electric field and The electric potential. What is the Electric Potential of a Dipole and System of Charges? The electric potential ... Read More

Introduction Karl Friedrich Gauss is widely regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. Some consider him to be the greatest.Gauss discovered a way to think about Coulomb's law that allows us to calculate the electric field of charge distributions in a straightforward manner. Although Gauss did not discover a new physical law, his restatement of Coulomb's law was equally important. In this tutorial we will describe about electric flux, concept of eclectic flux, the flux of electric field, unit and dimensional formula of electric flux. To comprehend Gauss' law, we must first grasp the concept of ... Read More
