Introduction Reactance refers necessarily to the inertia that opposes the electron’s motions in the circuit of electricity. That means the attribute of the electron’s flow in the electric circuit. Reactance is denoted with the “R” symbol and it is measured in the unit of an ohm (Ω) which is a Greek symbol (Seghir et al. 2018). Reactance (x) is a combination of Inductive (XL) and Capacitive (Xc). The formula of Reactance to measure Inductive and Capacitive is X = XL + Xc. In terms, the phase is presented as “X = R + j X” ... Read More

Introduction Electricity is the movement of electrons from one point to another point in a conductor. Conduction of electricity takes place in all three states of matter such as solid, liquid, and gas. The mechanism of conduction of electricity in liquid is different than in solid. We will try to understand the conduction of electricity in liquid by studying an example of pure water. How Does Liquid Conduct Electricity? Pure water is a bad conductor of electricity. Then how does it conduct electric current? We have to add salts in pure water for conduction. Let us take an example of ... Read More

Introduction Have you seen a bolt of lightning before a thunderstorm on rainy days? Did your elders tell you not to touch electronic devices with wet hands? You must have seen electronic appliances like a television, refrigerator, air conditioner, and mixer at your home. Do they work automatically? Or do they need some energy to work? Yes. This energy is known as electricity. The above example of the bolt of lightning is also electricity. When we touch electronic devices with wet hands, we may get shocked due to the electric supply. This is why we should not touch electronic appliances ... Read More

Introduction The meaning of Phasor Representation AC is an electrical circuit that consist resistor where the AC source of electricity is linked. With the source of AC connection, an inductor is connected with the help of the capacitor's movement. The joint of the enlisted capacitors can be lined with the components of the AC source in the capacitor. The source of the resistor in the flow of current and the phase difference with the voltage's source is subject to be discussed in this tutorial. Information Regarding Phasor Representation In the phase of electricity, the current is present in the voltage ... Read More

Introduction A parallel plate capacitor is also called the simple form of capacitor. This kind of capacitor can be formed by using two metals or foil plates which are placed parallel to each other. The value of capacitance of the two parallel plates is fixed by the surface area of the conductive plates and the distance between the plates. Any alteration in the values causes alteration between these two particles. In this tutorial the parallel plate capacitors will be discussed further What are Parallel Plate Capacitors? The parallel plate capacitors are the simple types of capacitors in existence. These capacitors ... Read More

Introduction Static electricity is applied to multiple purposes in daily human lives starting from attractions between objects to repulsion between different objects. Static electricity is commonly generated when objects come into contact. As the electrons stay stationary during the attraction between objects, it generates static electricity in the process. Static ions can be seen through extra ions present in the air. In simple words, when two objects create an attractive force between each other, it leads to the formation of static electricity in the process. What is Static Electricity? Static electricity is a common electric phenomenon where charged particles are ... Read More

Introduction The electric field is an elegant way that helps in the characterization of an electrical environment within a particular system of charges. Here, a force per unit is defined with E, F and Q while applying this in electro-physics. It commonly tells about the environment that is formed around charges. It can be defined in different points of space and can be generally referred to the quantity that defines every point of space. What is Electric Field? The electric field is an independent system property of test charges that is expressed by E in electro-physics. It is an elegant ... Read More

Introduction Permittivity and permeability are two of the properties of every material that is placed within an electric field or a magnetic field. Although both the properties are related to each other to some extent, the differences between them are too vibrant. Permittivity mostly operates in the formation of an electric field whereas permeability operates in the formation of a magnetic field. In simple words, both are quantities to measure electromagnetism, where permittivity relates to the polarization and permeability relates to the magnetization of materials. What is Permittivity? Permittivity is an electric quantity that decides if a material placed within ... Read More
