Full Wave Rectifier

A rectifier is an electronic circuit which can convert an AC voltage into DC voltage. In half-wave rectifier, only a positive cycle is rectified. A circuit, which can rectify both positive and negative cycle is known as a full-wave rectifier.

Voltage and Current Division in an Electrical Circuit

Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's current law (KVL) are two fundamental law to find voltage and current in an electrical circuit.

What is a Zener Diode and How to use it?

Zener diode is a special purpose diode that is made to operate in the breakdown region. Zener diode when used in reverse biased, it shows a sharp increase in reverse current when the voltage crosses the breakdown voltage

What is Pull-up and Pull-Down Resistor?

Pull-up and pull-down resistor are two different circuits used to set up external signal for hardware interrupt or preset signal.

Thermistor – A temperature measuring transducer

A thermistor is basically a resistor whose resistance changes with the change in the temperature. A thermister offers a non-linear curve between temperature and resistance graph.

Seven-segment Display - An Introduction

A Seven-segment or simply 7-Segment display is the basic electronic display and, it can show decimal digit or hexadecimal digit.

Half Wave Rectifier Explanation

A rectifier is an electronic circuit which converts AC voltage into DC voltage. Transformation of AC voltage into DC voltage is known as rectification.

Clipper Circuits using Diod

The arrangement of the diode network which has the ability to clip off some portion of the input signal without distorting remaining part is known as diode clippers.
