Concept of Self Inductance

Self Inductance or Inductance is defined as the property of a material due to which it opposes the flow of current through it. It is usually denoted by ‘L’ and its SI unit is Henry. How a material possess such property? To understand, let us consider a coil having N number of turns and connect … Read more

Equivalent Inductance of Parallel Connected Inductors

When the potential difference between the terminals of two or more inductors are same, it is said that they are connected in parallel. As potential difference or voltage across the terminals are same therefore current flowing through the inductors may or may not be same. If the parallel connected inductors have the same value of … Read more

Concept of Magnetization or Saturation Curve: B-H Curve

Magnetization curve or saturation curve is basically the graphical relationship between the magnetic flux density B and magnetic filed intensity H for a given magnetic material. As we know that, B = μ0μrH where  μ0 = Permeability of free space = 4πx10-7Tm/A  μr = Relative Permeability of material Thus by using the above equation, we … Read more

Why Current through an Inductor lags Behind Voltage?

For understanding the reason, why current through and Inductor lags behind Voltage across the Inductor, we will first go mathematically then we will understand the concept analytically. Let us consider a purely inductive circuit as shown in figure below. As shown in the figure above, an inductor of value L Henray is connected with an … Read more

Working Principle of Transistor

In this post I will focus on the working principle of the Bipolar Junction Transistor assuming that you are already aware of the construction details of the BJT or simply Transistors. The basic operation of the transistor will be described using the pnp transistor. The operation of the npn transistor is exactly the same if … Read more

Analysis of Clamping Circuit

The clamping network is one that clamps a signal to a different DC level. The network contains a capacitor, a diode, and a resistive element, but it can also have an independent DC supply source to introduce an additional shift in voltage level. The magnitude of R and C to be used in the Clamper … Read more

How to Find RMS Value of any Function?

 I am writing this post for those who are going to appear for the GATE-2019. If you see the Previous Year Question Papers, you will find that finding RMS for a composite wave or for an arbitrary function is asked frequently. Therefore it is quite important to know “How to find RMS value”. I will … Read more

Balanced Star to Delta & Delta to Star Conversion

As we know any balanced Star connected system can be completely replaced by an equivalent Delta connected system. This means that a three phase Star connected balanced system having line voltage VL and line current IL can be replaced by an equivalent Delta connected system having phase voltage VL and phase current IL / 1.732. … Read more

Star Delta & Delta Star Conversion

Star-Delta and Delta-Star conversion concept is very basic but most important concept for Electrical Engineers. Be it day to day calculation or solving some numerical of competitive exam, we definitely need this conversion. In this post we will be discussing this Star to Delta and Delta to Star Conversion. For understanding this conversion, we will … Read more
