Electrostatic field

An electrostatic field is a field that exists around an electrically charged particle. The strength of the electrostatic field is directly proportional to the charge of the particle. The electrostatic field is used to describe the force that exists between two charged particles. The force is attractive if the charges are of opposite sign and … Read more

Fourier synthesis

In signal processing, Fourier synthesis is the process of creating a signal from its spectral components. This is done by summing sinusoids of different frequencies, amplitudes, and phases. The frequencies of the sinusoids are typically integer multiples of a common base frequency, and their amplitudes are typically proportional to the corresponding spectral components. The phases … Read more

Coulomb per meter cubed

The Coulomb per meter cubed is a unit of measurement for electric charge. It is equal to one Coulomb of charge per cubic meter of space. This unit is often used in the field of electronics. What is Newton per meter cube? Newton per meter cube is a unit of measure for magnetic field strength. … Read more

Decibel

The decibel is a logarithmic unit used to express the ratio of two values of a physical quantity. The value of the ratio is called the “level” and is measured in dB. The decibel is used to express a wide variety of ratios, such as sound pressure levels, sound intensity levels, voltage ratios, and power … Read more

Bipolar transistor

A bipolar transistor is a type of transistor that uses both electrons and holes as charge carriers. Bipolar transistors are used in a wide variety of applications, including amplifiers, switches, and signal generators. What are the 2 types of bipolar transistors? There are two types of bipolar transistors: NPN Transistors PNP Transistors Why transistor is … Read more

Anode

An anode is an electrode through which electric current flows into a device. In a diode, for example, the anode is the electrode that receives the majority of the current. In a cathode ray tube (CRT), the anode is the positively charged electrode that accelerates the electrons being emitted from the cathode. What is anode … Read more

Parallax

In electronics, parallax refers to the apparent shift in position of an object when viewed from different angles. This phenomenon is caused by the different angles at which the object is viewed from different vantage points. The term is often used in relation to optical instruments such as telescopes and microscopes, where the apparent position … Read more

Statvolt (statV)

The statvolt, or statV, is a unit of measurement for direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electricity. It is defined as the voltage required to produce a unit of current in a resistive circuit. The statvolt is a derived unit of the International System of Units (SI), and its symbol is V. How do … Read more

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

ESD is the sudden release of electricity from one object to another. This can happen when two objects come into contact with each other, or when one object is rubbed against another. When two objects with different electric charges come into contact, the charge will flow from the object with the higher charge to the … Read more

Valve

A valve is a device that controls the flow of a fluid (liquid, gas, or fluidized solid) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing one or more passageways. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate category. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. The … Read more
