Inductors In Parallel

04/06/2022, hardwarebee

Inductors are said to be parallel if one or more inductors share the same two nodes. In this article we will discuss the topic around inductors in parallel and present the two common scenarios: with and without mutual inductance.
 
Inductors in Parallel – Background
 
When a current flows

Zener Diode Is Used As

01/06/2022, hardwarebee

Zener diode is considered a special purpose diode because it can operate in a reverse biased mode. Because of this, these diodes are used in voltage regulation and waveform shaping circuits. In this tutorial, two types of voltage regulation circuits with Zener diodes are discussed. In addition to voltage regulators,

Difference between Sequential and Combinational Circuit

29/05/2022, hardwarebee

Digital logic circuits are broadly classified as combinational logic circuits and sequential logic circuits. Combinational circuits perform tasks that do not require memory to store their data — their operation is independent of time. The output at any instant of time is determined by the present inputs. The analysis of

What is the Principle of an Electric Motor

Nowadays, electric motors can be found in everybody’s life because they convert electric energy to mechanical or kinetic energy. Eclectic motors are available in electric vehicles (EVs), fans, watches, mixers, grinders, washing machines, and many other apparatuses. Hence, knowing the motor principles can help everyone to use motor-based equipment more

transformer

The transformer is one of the most important equipment in electrical engineering, which changes the magnitude and phase angle of AC input. In fact, the transformer is a static electrical machine because there is no rotating part in the transformer. Moreover, the transformer is a passive component that transfers energy

Understanding Quiescent Current

14/05/2022, hardwarebee

The amount of current utilized by an IC when it is in the Quiescent state is referred to as Quiescent Current. The Quiescent state refers to any period of time when the IC is either no load or non-switching but is still switched on. When the external load current is

Understanding Transimpedance Amplifier

14/05/2022, hardwarebee

Weak signals cannot be measured with high accuracy because measurement instruments need high accurate elements, which increases the costs considerably. Therefore, the sensors’ output must be amplified, and then other conversions and measurements can be applied. Some sensors’ outputs are based on current, and their amplitudes are quite low. Hence,
