Rectifier A rectifier is a device that converts AC into DC. The power available to us is in the form of AC. But almost all electrical equipments work on DC. So we need a converter that converts AC into DC. We employ a rectifier circuit for this purpose. Rectifiers are basically classified into Half Wave and Full wave according to the cycles (either Half of a cycle or Full) that are rectified. Among these the bridge rectifier is the most efficient...
Ever since its introduction, internet has captured the imagination and lives of millions of users around the globe and is still growing steadfastedly. The Internet operates by transferring data between hosts in packets that are routed across networks in accordance with specific protocols. IP address of a host or user computer is a label assigned for host identification, just like a residential address. IPv6, a successor of IPv4, is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP) which is currently used worldwide for internet trafficking. IPv4 provides...
India has successfully launched her self developed long range ballistic missile AGNI 5. The AGNI 5 is a great addition to the AGNI series, which helps INDIA to get a prime position in the list of Asian countries with long range missile capability. AGNI 5 is a missile that has a range of 5000 km and is solid fuelled. It is an Inter Continental Ballistic missile (ICBM) and is a great achievement to the DRDO. The 3 stage missile, which earlier was...
In this era of increasing petroleum costs, the arrival of hybrid vehicles is inevitable. Energy consumption is rising day to day resulting in the decrease of natural resources. The fuel consumption rate all over the world in going up. So we have to find alternate sources of energy for using vehicles. Also the threats to the nature by the increasing number of fossil fuel vehicles is increasing. thus all these circumstances lead us to the world wide application of...
PHOTONICS A TECHNOLOGY OF TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After doing a wonderful job in all fields, Electronics seems to have reached certain limits. Here is where the importance of PHOTONICS is to be analysed. The capability of a photon to carry information signals are being widely researched. It has become successful up to a certain limit in the communication field after the introduction of Fibre Optics. But the capability of a photon in computing and control is still a question mark in front of the scientists. A photon is simply...
Some Windows 7 users are having problems running DOS in fullscreen mode. The DOS-BOX has an effective remedy for this. You can download and install the DOS-BOX and run DOS using this software. The only trouble is that we should type in a couple of commands in it apart from the usual commands in DOS. Using this software we can run DOS in full screen mode. Steps to install DOS BOX:- EG:- consider opening Turbo c++, let it be intalled in the drive"D". 1: Download DOS-BOX 2: Install it...
North Carolina State University have developed the first functional oxide thin films that can be used efficiently in electronics, opening the door to an array of new high-power devices and smart sensors. This is the first time that researchers have been able to produce positively charged (p-type) conduction and negatively charged (n-type) conduction in a single oxide material, launching a new era in oxide electronics. To make functional electronic devices, you need materials with a "p-n junction," where the positively charged...
