Phase Difference and Phase Shift Phase Difference is used to describe the difference in degrees or radians when two or more alternating quantities reach their maximum or zero values Previously we saw that a Sinusoidal Waveform...View More
Sinusoidal Waveforms When an electric current flows through a wire or conductor, a circular magnetic field is created around the wire and whose strength is related to the current value. If this single wire conductor is moved o...View More
AC Waveform and AC Circuit Theory AC Sinusoidal Waveforms are created by rotating a coil within a magnetic field and alternating voltages and currents form the basis of AC Theory Direct Current or D.C. as it...View More
In Europe, the performance of electrical and electronic equipment in railway applications is governed by two international standards. The one most frequently cited in design specifications is the document IEC571, “Electronic Equipment on Rail Vehi...View More
Non-isolated Ćuk Converter There are variations on the basic Ćuk converter. For example, the coils may share single magnetic core, which drops the output ripple, and adds efficiency. Because the power transfer flows continuously ...View More
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) is Kirchhoff’s second law that deals with the conservation of energy around a closed circuit path. Gustav Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law is the second of his fundamental la...View More
Kirchhoff’s Current Law Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) is Kirchhoff’s first law that deals with the conservation of charge entering and leaving a junction. To determine the amount or magnitude of the electrical current flowing ...View More
Current Sources A Current Source is an active circuit element that is capable of supplying a constant current flow to a circuit regardless of the voltage developed across its terminals As its name implies, a ...View More
