WORKING OF CAPACITOR IN DETAILS

       Capacitor is a voltage storing device it is store the charge in the form of voltage this is block the DC (Direct current) current and pass the AC  (Alternating current  230V) current


Different types of capacitors such as :-

  •       Ceramic capacitor
  •       Polyester capacitor
  •       Non polarized capacitor
  •      Electrolytic capacitor

The unit of capacitor is Farad , it is measured  in farad the farad name is given by the British physician Michael Faraday     Farad is a very large unit it has  a different parts such as , micro farad , nano farad , and  Pico farad     



  1. 1)       micro farad   (uF) :- 1uF = 1/1 000.000  = 0.0000001 = 10^-6 F
  1. 2)       nano farad   (nF) :- 1nF = 1/1 000.000.000 = 0.000000000 = 10^-9F
  1. 3)       Pico farad  (PF) :- 1PF = 1/1 000.000.000.000 = .000000000000 = =10^-12

 

The  capacitor works on different types of voltage  rating  if it is cross that pic voltage level then capacitor is blast when the capacitor connect the battery it is store the  charge  after charging capacitor connect the any electrical device  it will discharge


The capacitor works on AC (Alternating current) as well as DC(Direct current)



  •  In DC supply the capacitor connect in series with any  electronics device ,this device work only during the charging of capacitor  when capacitor is charge the  then the device is stop the working because the property of capacitor it is block the DC voltage




  • The capacitor will connect  in parallel in DC supply there will be no effect on the electronic device it is continually  ON condition because DC supply will not filter in this condition




  • In AC supply capacitor connect in series with device these device will fluctuate and continusly on and off  there is not capture from human eyes



  • When the capacitor connect in parallel in AC supply then it will block the current   and device will be fully off




  • This capacitors are most used I rectifier because converting AC supply in to a DC supply  efficiently and capacitor is work like filter on the  rectifier circuit

Compact Fluorescent Lamp Circuit (CFL)

All about Compact Fluorescent Lamp circuit (CFL): The CFL is also known as compact fluorescent light, energy saving light, and compact fluorescent tube. Fig 1 shows the CFL lamp. Why CFL? CFL is compact and energy efficient lamp. It requires less amount of power i.e. 13 to 14 watts than Incandescent light so it is widely used to save energy. Lifespan of CFL lamps is 7 to 9 years. Working of CFL: Fig 2 shows the diagram of CFL lamp circuit and the parts of CFL. The main three parts of CFL lamp is Base, circuit, and tube. We apply actual AC supply to the base. A CFL uses vacuum pipe which is same as tube light. Tube has two electrodes on both ends and they are treated with Barium. Cathode is having temperature of 900 0 C. When we apply AC supply to the cathode it generates a beam of electrode. The beam is further accelerated by potential difference between electrodes. From fig 3 we can see that, accelerated electrons strike mercury and organ atoms, and as a result it prod

Thermoelectric Generators AKA Peltier Modules

All about Peltier Module: Peltier modules are electronic devices designed for cooling object below ambient temperature. It can be used as temperature controller.  Fig 1 shows the peltier module. From fig 1 we can see that the “TEC1-12057” shows on module which means 12V and 7amp. Principle and structure: Fig 2 shows the internal structure of peltier module. The internal structure of peltier module comprises semiconductor from P-type and N-type Bismuth Telluride Material. After applying current the thermoelectric effect takes place due to peltier effect. Applying a dc voltage causes the positive and negative charge carriers to absorb heat from one side and transfer and release it on other side. Therefore, the surface which absorbs energy become cool and the surface which releases energy become hot. Working of peltier module: The peltier module has two terminals i.e. positive and negative. While applying voltage remember that the connection must be positive to positive a

Capacitors

Capacitors: Before knowing how does a capacitor works, it is essential to know basics of capacitor and what exactly a capacitor is     • Capacitor is component which is used for storing energy in electric charge.     • The capacitance is measured is the unit Farads.     • It is a passive component, so it does not need any electrical power to operate.     • Capacitor can be fixed capacitor, variable capacitor, polarised capacitor. CONSTRUCTION OF CAPACITOR The capacitor is made up of two conducting plates, between these two conducting plates dielectric material is used such as paper, glass mica etc. Dielectric simply means insulator which can be polarised  if electric field is applied to it. FUNCTION OF CAPACITOR How the capacitor gets charged ??? When a capacitor is connected in a circuit upper terminal or top terminal of the capacitor is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the bottom terminal of the capacitor is connected to negative terminal of the battery.

PN Junction Diode

PN Junction Diode Basically, PN junction diode is two-terminal semiconductor device that control flow of electric current in a circuit. In case P-type semiconductor holes are majority carriers and electrons are minority carrier and in n-type of semiconductor electrons are majority carries & holes are minority carriers. They individually act like resistor. But when they joined together by the method of doping the junction is form between them. When a p-n junction is formed, some of the electrons which are present in n-region diffuse across the junction and combine with holes to form negative ions. Similarly, the positive charges or holes from the p-side are diffused to the n region and they form a layer of positive charge on the n-side. The region between these two layers is the depletion region . About unbiased p-n junction , due to presence of immobile positive and negative ions on opposite side of junction, an electric field is created across the junction this is nothing but bar

What Are Resistors?

Resistor It is the passive circuit linear element which opposes the flow of current or electricity. As the name indicate linear element it means that as the voltage applied to the resister is changes(increase/decrease),the current flowing through this resister is also changes. So the relation between the voltage, current and resistance is given by I=V/R (Ohms Law) Resistance is a property of a material which changes according to the resistivity of the material. The relation between the length, area and resistivity is given by R = ρ ℓ / A Power rating is a maximu m power which is handled by the resistor. Mathematically it is written as P=V*I Power rating ranges from 1/16W to 300W. While selecting the resistor apart from power rating the ambient temperature is also consider. Tolerance is a deviation in the resistance from the normal value. Tolerance ranges from 0.1% to 20%. As the temperature changes the amount of resistance is changes this amount of

INTERFACING OF ARDUINO WITH ULTRASONIC SENSOR

INTERFACING OF ARDUINO WITH ULTRASONIC SENSOR In this session, ARDUINO interfacing with Ultrasonic Sensor is discussed. Ultrasonic Sensor is used to calculate the distances of the obstacle. It works on the principle of SONAR. Ultrasonic Sensor senses the distance of an object by sending the ultrasonic sound at 40,000 Hz, which travels through the air and if there is an object or obstacle on its path it will reflect or bounce back to the receiver of the module.         The common name of Ultrasonic Sensor is HC-SR04.         Operating Voltage of this sensor is +5V.         It can measure distance from 2cm to 80cm.         It contains 4 pins – VCC, Ground, Echo, Trigger. Trigger pin is the input pin and it sends the ultrasonic waves. Echo pin is the output pin and it receives the bounced or reflected waves FORMULA TO CALCULATE DISTANCE Speed of sound: v=340 m/s,    v=0.034cm/ μ s Time = Distance / Speed: t    =    s/v    =    10 / 0.034 =    294 μ s   Distance :
