Electrical4U What is an Inverter? An inverter, or power inverter, is a power electronics converter that changes direct-current electrical power into alternating-current electrical power at the required voltage and frequency. It is used when a DC source must supply an AC load or exchange power with an AC grid. A solid-state inverter transfers and controls power … Read more
What is an Avalanche Diode? An avalanche diode is a semiconductor diode designed to operate in controlled avalanche breakdown at a specified reverse voltage. Its pn junction spreads reverse current more evenly than an ordinary rectifier junction. The diode can therefore survive breakdown only while current, pulse energy, power dissipation and junction temperature remain within … Read more

What is Moore’s Law? Moore’s Law refers to the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit (IC) doubles approximately every 2 years. It is often cited as an explanation for the exponential growth of technology, sometimes even being coined as the ‘law of exponential growth’. Moore’s Law is named after Gordon Moore, … Read more
What is a Network Topology? A network topology describes how nodes and links are arranged. Physical topology maps actual devices and media. Logical topology describes how data flows, which may differ from the physical connections. The concept applies to computer networks, radio systems and industrial field buses. Types of Network Topology There four main types … Read more
What is a Potentiometer? A potentiometer (also known as a pot or potmeter) is defined as a 3 terminal variable resistor in which the resistance is manually varied to control the flow of electric current. A potentiometer acts as an adjustable voltage divider. How Does a Potentiometer Work? A potentiometer is a passive electronic component … Read more
What is a Thermistor? A thermistor (or thermal resistor) is defined as a type of resistor whose electrical resistance varies with changes in temperature. Although all resistors’ resistance will fluctuate slightly with temperature, a thermistor is particularly sensitive to temperature changes. Thermistors act as a passive component in a circuit. They can provide high temperature … Read more
