Voltage Multipliers - Voltage Doublers, Triplers and Quadruplers Voltage multipliers is a modified capacitor filter circuit that delivers a dc voltage twice or more times of the peak value (amplitude)…
Varistors or Voltage Dependent Resistors (VDRS): Varistors, also called the voltage dependent resistors (VDRs), show a high degree of nonlinearity between their resistance value and the applied voltage. They are…
Breakdown Voltage of PN Junction Diode: When an ordinary P-N junction diode is reverse biased, normally only very small reverse saturation current flows. This current is due to movement of…
What is Voltage and Current? There are two quantities that we like to keep track of in electronic circuits : voltage and current. These are usually changing with time; otherwise…
Voltage Magnification in Series Resonance: Voltage Magnification in Series Resonance - If we assume that the voltage applied to the series RLC circuit is V, and the current at resonance…
Voltage and Current in Series Resonant Circuit: The variation of impedance and current with frequency of Voltage and Current in Series Resonant Circuit is shown in Fig. 8.7. At resonant…
Characteristics of Rate of Rise of Restriking Voltage: The important Characteristics of Rate of Rise of Restriking Voltage which affect the circuit breaker performance are: amplitude factor, rate of rise…
Recovery Voltage: Recovery Voltage - While closing or opening the circuit breaker, the circuit constants play an important role. It was noticed in practice a circuit breaker that would operate…
