What Is an LED? The simple answer is that an LED is a type of light. It’s also a type of diode. The acronym LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Just as a diode is a semiconductor, an LED uses semiconductor properties to allow it to illuminate – unlike an incandescent light which uses a […]
Ohm’s Law is one of the most fundamental principles in electricity and electronics, and it’s what helps us to describe the relationship of the current through a conductor between two points in a circuit and its direct proportionality to the electric potential difference, or voltage across those two points. potential difference: the difference in electric […]
Just wanted to update everyone on the progress of Motbots. We’re currently working on more material and new project ideas to share with you all – keeping busy and motivated, because of you! We are aware that there may be some links on some of our pages that lead to the Home page instead of […]
An ideal current source is a source of constant current to a system, independent of the source voltage. An ideal current source provides this constant current with 100% efficiency — it has an internal parallel resistance with a value that is infinite. A practical current source is a device that supplies current to a system, […]
An ideal voltage source is a source of constant voltage to a system, independent of any fluctuations of current. An ideal voltage source provides this constant voltage with 100% efficiency — it has a series internal resistance with a value of zero. A practical voltage source is a device that supplies voltage to a system, […]
Circuit Element A circuit element refers to a basic component that is used to construct electrical circuits. The element can be a physical device or an abstract concept that exhibits specific electrical behavior and are combined together to form more complex circuits. These elements can include resistors, capacitors, inductors, and various other components that contribute […]
Active and Passive Elements Explained Recall that a source is any device that delivers energy into to a system. A source is a device that actively generates electrical energy, such as a battery — whereas, an electrical load is considered to be a device that passively extracts energy from a system, such as a speaker. […]
