Here, you’ll find a curated selection of articles that break down the essential concepts and components that form the bedrock of electronic systems.
Lenz’s Law
The direction of induced current may also be found by lenz's law which was formulated by Lenz in 1835.
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that ''The algebraic sum of all voltages (source voltage and voltage drops) is equal to zero around a close path''.
Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
The sum of the current into a junction is equal to the sum of the current out of at junction.
Insulation Resistance Test on a Transformer
Class 1 Transformer, Insulation resistance tests between each winding and earth
Magnetism
Magnetism is a property of materials that respond at an atomic or subatomic level to an applied magnetic field.
Magnetic Flux
The total number of magnetic lines of force of a magnet is called magnetic flux. It is represented by phi (ϕ) and its unit is Weber.
Induced EMF
Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, EMF is induced in the conductor and this EMF is called induced EMF.
Faraday’s law’s of Electromagnetic induction
First Law of Faraday's Electromagnetic Induction state that whenever a conductor are placed in a varying magnetic field emf are induced which is called induced emf,
Inductor
When a length of wire is formed into a coil, as shown in Figure 1, it becomes a basic inductor. The terms coil and inductor are used interchangeably.

Potential
Any charge has the potential to do the work of moving another charge, by either attraction or repulsion.
Diodes
Diodes allow electricity to flow in only one direction. The arrow of the circuit symbol shows the direction in which the current can flow.
Coulomb Laws
Charles coulomb formulated two laws on the bases of experiments, which are known as electrostatic laws, or coulomb laws of electrostatic.
Capacitors
Capacitors store electric charge. They are used with resistors in timing circuits because it takes time for a capacitor to fill with charge.
