What are the two basic types of electricity?
The two basic types of electricity are static electricity and current electricity. Static electricity involves the build-up of charge on an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
What is current and types of current?
Wow, this could take all day depending on how deep you want to go! Current is the 'Juice' that flows through an electrical circuit. Current has been compared to water for explanation purposes. Voltage is the pressure that a system has, and current is the amount of water that flows through the system. A water tower is 100ft above the ground. Let's say that it has 100ft of pressure. This would be analogous to the potential difference (voltage). Water can flow through the pipes at 10 gallons per minute, in Electro-Speak; this would be the current (amps, amperage), particles of electricy per time unit, (particles/sec, particles/millisecond, etc.). In your house you have a lamp that operates a 120 Volts AC (alternating current, as opposed to DC - Direct Current like that in your car battery). The lamp is 120 watts (for ex.) therefore according to Ohm's law, the First Commandment of Electricity), the lamp draws 1 amp. Current (I) = Power (watts)/Voltage, Therefore 10 120w lamps = 1200 watts (like a hair dryer) draws 10 amps, a 60-watt lamp bulb would draw half an amp (0.5a). Current is also X# Coulombs per second, a coulomb is (whole bunch) of Joules/second. A Joule is a tiny particle of energy.
Can electricity flow through a parallel circuit?
'Electricity' is the name given to a branch of science; it is NOT a quantity. So your question should read, 'How does an electric current flow through a parallel circuit?'The answer is that a parallel circuit is made up of two or more individual 'branches'. The sum of the currents flowing through each branch is the value of the current being drawn from the supply by the complete circuit.
A static discharge differs from an electric current in that a static discharge?
A static discharge is a sudden, brief flow of electricity between two objects with different electrical charges, often caused by friction or contact. It differs from an electric current, which is a continuous flow of electric charge through a conductor.
List the types of organisms that energy flows through in an ecosystem?
When it comes to the flow of energy in ecosystems there are two types of organisms: producers and consumers.
What is forward bias current in semiconductor?
I think its related to junction of two dissimilar semiconductor (or semiconductor and metal) and not only a semiconductor. well when two opposite nature semiconductor (hetero or homo) are joined to form a junctions they allow the flow of current in one direction while blocks it in other direction. The applied bias V which will cause the current flow is called forward bias and the current flowing through the junction forward bias current.
What is whole current in p type semi conductor?
In semiconductor two charge carriers are present i.e holes and electrons.The current is rate of flow of charges.so in ptype semiconductor the current is the sum of current due to holes and electrons.But current due to holes is more compsred to electrons in ptype.
What are the two types of ocean currents?
deep currents streamlike movement of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. surface current can influence the climate of land are they flow past.
What is a thryistor?
A thryistor is a four-layered semiconductor rectifier in which the flow of current between two electrodes is triggered by a signal at a third electrode. Hope I helped! :)
What are the two main types of transistors?
The two main types of transistors are bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field-effect transistors (FETs). BJTs operate by controlling the flow of current via two types - NPN and PNP. FETs control current flow using an electrical field, with types including MOSFETs and JFETs.
Do free electrons and holes in a semiconductor individually contribute to current flow so that the net current is the sum of these two currents?
For a Semiconductor sample which is not disturbed from equilibrium. This is true:A: The understanding is that negative electrons flow leaving a hole This is the result of an electron leaving its orbit, both are motions of direction except in opposite directions so the net sum of both is zero not accumulated.However, when the semiconductor sample is perturbed by, for example, applied potential difference and/or thermal gradient and/or optical generation etc.The individual carriers will contribute to the total current.
What types of products are manufactured by semiconductor companies?
Semiconductor companies design and manufacture primarily two types of products: integrated circuits (ICs) and discrete devices.
Power thyristor how to check?
A thyristor is a rectifier semiconductor between two electrodes that permit unidirectional flow in anodes and cathodes.The flow of the current can be switched by a gate electrode that controls main driven electrical devices.To check a thyristor the current flow (between emitter/collector terminals) is checked.Then a small base current is applied to see if the thyristor functions as a switch.
What do the two types of electricity have in common?
Both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) are ways to transmit electricity. They both involve the flow of electrons through a conductor but differ in the direction of the flow and how they are produced.
How many diodes in a transistor?
There are two semiconductor junctions. Transistors are designated as NPN or PNP and a diode is an NP or PN junction depending on direction of current flow. However, the function of a transistor is different than two back to back diodes.
What are different types of current?
There are two types of current AC current DCcurrent
What are the types two types of electric current?
Alternating current and Direct current
