What is Series Circuit, Parallel Circuit and Series Parallel Circuit

Series Circuit Figure (A) series circuit. The same current flows through all the resistors. An electric circuit can be arranged in several ways, as long as the path for the electric current is closed. The simplest arrangement is the so-called series circuit. The series circuit has all the elements of the circuit connected onto each … Read more

What is Wattmeter

Function of Wattmeter We have to measure electric power to know how much power any device or apparatus is drawing from the line. A wattmeter registers watts or kilowatts, and by reading it one can tell how much power any piece of apparatus is consuming. The amount of electric power delivered by a circuit depends on … Read more

Classification of amplifiers

Classification of amplifiers An amplifier is an electronic circuit which is used to amplify or increase the level of weak input signals into very high output signals. Transistors are used as amplifiers in most circuits. In addition, resistors, capacitors and a biasing battery are required to form complete amplifier circuits. Almost all electronic systems work … Read more

What is Extra High Voltage Transmission

Introduction and Definition of Extra High Voltage During the past decades the demand of electricity has been increasing at a tremendous rate throughout the world. which has also results into increasing generation and transmission capacity of electrical energy. This increasing need of transmitting greater and greater amounts of power has led to a continuous increase … Read more

Constructional Details of Transformer (Single Phase)

Constructional Details of Transformer (Single Phase) The transformer has two windings primary and secondary. These windings are made of enamelled copper. These windings are suitably put on the limbs of the transformer core. A suitable insulation is used for the former on which the windings are put. The transformer core is made of silicon steel … Read more
