Difference between Ceramic Capacitor and Electrolytic Capacitor
A capacitor is a circuit component which has ability to store electrical energy in the form of electrostatic field. A capacitor consists of an assembly of two parallel plates that are separated by an insulating material called dielectric. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the dielectric material between its plates get polarized, i.e. its charges or ions get separated. The negative ions accumulated near the positive plate and positive ions accumulated near the negative plate. In this way an electric field is established inside capacitor. Hence the capacitor is said to be charged. There are several capacitors available. ...
Read MoreDifference between Anode and Cathode
Any electric circuit element or device has terminals for making connection in the circuit. These terminals of the element are also called electrodes of the element. The electrodes are classified in two types namely anode and cathode. This article is meant for explaining the difference between anode and cathode. But, before discussing the difference, we should get the basics of anode and cathode so that the understanding of differences between them becomes easier. What is Anode? An electrode of a device such as cell, battery, diode, etc. where oxidation reaction (loss of electrons) occurs is known as anode. In simple ...
Read MoreDifference between Alternator and Generator
Both alternator and generator are types of electromechanical energy conversion devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, however there are several differences in the way they operate. This article will help you understand the major differences between an alternator and a generator. Let's start with a basic overview of what Alternators and Generators are. What is an Alternator? An electromechanical energy conversion device which converts mechanical energy into AC (alternating current) electrical energy is called an alternator. An alternator consists of two main parts namely stator and rotor. The stator carries the armature winding whereas the rotor carriers ...
Read MoreDifference between ACB and VCB
A circuit breaker is an electrical switching device that can open or close an electric circuit either normally or in case of fault. Therefore, a circuit breaker is one of the major component of an electrical power system or wiring system. A circuit breaker is usually equipped with a control mechanism which enable it to operate automatically in case of abnormal conditions in the circuit. Since the different electrical systems operate at different voltage and current levels. Therefore, according to system voltage and current, there are various types of circuit breakers available such as MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker), ACB (Air ...

Read MoreDifference between Turbocharger and Supercharger
Both turbocharger and supercharger are used to increase the pressure of atmospheric air before sending it to the engine cylinder. The compressed air increases the amount of fuel to enter into the engine cylinder for combustion, which in turn increases the power of the engine.Basically both turbocharger and supercharger perform the same operation. However, they are different from each other in many ways, which we are going to highlight in this article. What is a Turbocharger? A forced induction system which uses energy of exhaust gases to compress the atmospheric air and sends it to the engine cylinder is known ...
Read MoreDifference between Sensor and Transducer
Sensors and transducers are extensively used in the electrical and electronic instruments to measure different physical quantities. However, there are many differences between a sensor and a transducer that we will discuss in this article. But, before getting into the differences, let's get an overview of what sensors and transducers are, so that it becomes easier to understand how they differ from each other.What is a Sensor? A sensor is a device that detects any physical quantity such as pressure, light, heat, temperature, humidity, etc. from the outside environment and responds according to the input to produce a desired output ...
Read MoreDifference between Primary Cell and Secondary Cell
A cell is an active circuit component that supplies electrical energy to the circuit. A cell stores the energy in the form of chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy when the load is connected across its terminals. Depending on the ability to recharge, the cells are classified into the following two types, viz. − Primary cell Secondary cell Read through this article to find out more about primary cells and secondary cells and how these two types of cells are different from each other. What is a Primary Cell? The type of electric cell which produces electrical ...
Read MoreDifference between Pelton Wheel and Francis 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 used such as steam turbine, water turbine, gas turbines, etc.The most commonly used water turbines are Pelton wheel, Francis turbine and Kaplan turbine. Go through this article to find out the major differences between Pelton wheel and Francis turbine. What is Pelton Wheel? A Pelton wheel is an impulse type water turbine in which the entire pressure of water is converted into kinetic energy in a nozzle and the velocity of ...
Read MoreDifference between Open Cycle Gas Turbine and Closed Cycle Gas Turbine
A type of internal combustion engine which converts the energy of natural gas or other fuel gas into mechanical rotational energy is called a gas turbine. In simple words, a gas turbine is a type of turbine that driven by expanding hot gases produced by the combustion of fuel gas. The gas turbines are broadly classified into two types, viz − Open cycle gas turbine Closed cycle gas turbine This article provides a comprehensive understanding of differences between open cycle gas turbine and closed cycle gas turbine by considering various parameters such as basic definition, working fluid, heat ...
