Capacitance| What is a capacitor?
The device that offers pure capacitance is known as a capacitor. A capacitor is a two-terminal energy storage device, that stores energy in its electric field. It can be found…
Inductance | What is an inductor?
Inductance A conductor carrying current produces a magnetic field around it. This magnetic field follows a circular path. When the same conductor is wound over a cylindrical solid core, the…
What is Electric Power?
Before reading about electric power it is essential to have a basic idea about power. The word power is a little tricky to understand. Consider that you are riding a…
What is energy?
Energy can be defined as the capacity to do work. It can also be defined as “stored work”. The terms energy and power are confusing and are interchanged most of…
What is Resistance?
As we know the current is the flow of free electrons through material from a higher potential to a lower potential. During this flow, few of these electrons collide with…
Electric Current and Current Flow
To understand the basics of electricity it is necessary to understand the concepts of electric charge and current. Electrically charged particles are present in every matter in the universe. The…
Electric Charge
Like gravitational force that acts on all masses, the electrostatic force is another fundamental force in nature. The term ‘electric charge’ is very difficult to explain but we can describe…
