A magnet whose magnetic field is created by an electric current is known as Electromagnet. An electromagnet consists of a soft iron core wound with a coil of conductor wires.When a direct electric current is passed through the coil of the electromagnet a magnetic field is created around it. Since ... Read More

To understand the transient response of the first order system, consider the block diagram of a closed loop system with unity negative feedback.The open loop gain G(s) of the system with unity negative feedback is given by, $$G(s)=\frac{1}{s\tau}$$And the closed loop transfer function of the system with unity negative feedback ...

The static electricity is the result of an imbalance between the positive and negative charges of an object.To understand the phenomena of static electricity, first we need to understand the basics of atoms and charges.The Structure of AtomAll the physical objects are made up of atoms. The atoms in turn ... Read More

The Bode Plot is the frequency response plot of linear systems represented in the form of logarithmic plots. In bode plot the horizontal axis represents frequency on a logarithmic scale and the vertical axis represents either the amplitude or the phase of the frequency response function.Low Pass Filter Bode PlotThe ...

The space or field in which a magnetic pole experiences a force is called as a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be produced either by moving the charge or some magnetic material. During the beginning of 19th century, a scientist named H. C. Oersted discovered that when current flows ... Read More

The directed flow of charge (free electrons) is called electric current. In other words, the electric current is defined as the rate of flow charge (free electrons). It is represented by 𝐼 or 𝑖 and measured in Amperes (A). i.e.$$I=\frac{Q}{t}=\frac{ne}{t}\:\:Ampere(A)$$Where, Q = ne, and e = 1.6 X 10-19 C.In ... Read More
